ocean circulation/ waves and tides

masses of ocean water that flow from one place to another

• surface current
• ocean current
• gyres
• upwelling

movements of water that flow horizontally in the upper part of the ocean's surface

• ocean currents
• gyre
• surface currents
• eddy

large whirls of water within and ocean basin are called

• gyres
• ocean currents
• surface currents
• eddys

the deflection of currents to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere is caused by the 

• coriolis effect
• holden effect
• earths gravity
• the moons gravity

currents that start in low latitude regions and move to high latitude regions effect the climate by

• bringing cold water to warm water areas
• bringing warm water to cold water areas
• currents do not affect climate
• who cares

currents that bring water from high latitude regions to low latitude regions effect climate by

• bringing colder water to warm regions regulating temperature 
• bringing even warmer water to hot areas creating tropical climates
• currents dont affect the climate
• i hate the ocean

when winds blow surface water in a direction cold, nutrient rich water moves upward from the deep, this is called 

• upwelling
• water replacement
• oh my god shoot me now
• conveyor belt

vertical currents that result from density differences between water masses are called

• density currents
• i hate earth science
• mr holden is a tool
• surface currents

all of the following can cause the formation of a density current except

• cold temperatures at high latitudes
• evaporation of water leading to higher salinity
• lots of fish
• none of these are causes

most ocean waves obtain their energy and motion from the

• earths rotation
• wind
• moon 
• mr holdens giant ego
