Ocean Movement (Chapter 16)

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

Cold ocean currents generally come from

• The North Pole 
• The South Pole
• The Equator
• Both the north and south pole

The California Current (west coast) carries _________ water from canada

• Cold 
• Warm
• Freezing
• Fresh

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

What process brings the deep cold ocean currents up to the surface?

• Conduction
• Global Wind Patterns
• Upwelling
• Temperature and salinity

Deep-ocean currents are driven by 

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

Surface currents are a result of

• Global Wind Patterns
• Earth's Rotation
• Density
• All of the above

What helps to create density current in Antarctica in the winter?

• salinity increases the density of cold water
• salinity decreases the density of the cold water
• fresh water increases the density of the cold water
• warm water decreases the density of the cold water
