Ocean Motion

The Gulf stream carries _____________ water from the east coast of The United States to the West coast of Europe.

• Cold
• Warm 
• Freezing
• Fresh

Warm ocean currents generally come from

• The North Pole
• The South Pole
• The Equator
• Both A and B

Two types of water currents are

• local and global
• sea and land
• surface and deep
• warm and cold

A horizontal movement of ocean water that is caused by wind and that occurs at or near the ocean's surface.

• Gulf Stream
• Global Conveyor Belt
• Surface Current
• Gyre

Deep-ocean currents are driven by 

• differences in soil
• differences in the water’s density,
• differences in nutrients 
• None of the Above

Cold ocean currents are most likely to be located at deeper ocean depths than warm water currents because

• A.Winds push the cold water down.
• Ocean tides force cold water downward
• A.Cold water is more dense and sinks
• A.Cold water has less salt to help it freeze and sink.

As you go deeper in the ocean, the water is colder and less salty.

• True
• False

Due to the Coriolis Effect, water in the northern hemisphere moves

• clockwise
• counter clockwise
• both
• neither

Due to the Coriolis Effect, water in the southern hemisphere moves

• clockwise
• counter-clockwise
• both
• neither

Warm ocean currents generally come from

• The North Pole
• The South Pole
• The Equator
• Both A and B
