Types of Oceans Current

Two types of ocean currents are

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

What are a circular system of currents in the Earth's major oceans?

• ocean current

• gyre

• upwelling

• conveyor belt

Currents that occur at or near the surface of the ocean are called 

• Deep Currents
• Convection Currents
• Surface Currents
• Wave Currents

Surface currents are mainly caused by

• The Coriolis Effect
• Cold and Warm Water
• Convection
• Wind

Regular movements of water far below the oceans surface are called

• Warm Currents
• Deep Currents
• Shallow Currents
• Surface Currents

Ocean currents move energy in the form of

• Salt
• Water
• Heat
• Oxygen

Ocean currents bring warm water from the equator towards Earth's

• Southern Hemisphere
• Continents
• Equator
• Poles

What causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different directions? 

• Gases in the ocean
• The rotation of the Earth
• Temperature differences
• Continental deflection

Salinity is

• The salt content of a substance

• The Pepper content of a substance

• The circulation of hot and cold matter

• the weather pattern of a region

What heats the Earth's oceans?

• People

• Boats

• a heater

• sun
