Unit 5: Oceans and Atmosphere (Spring 23)

surface currents

• the flow of air from land to a body of water
• stream-like movement of ocean water far below the surface
• A mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon.
• ocean currents on the top of the water that are driven by wind

Coriolis effect

• effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents
• A mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon.
• protective layer in atmosphere that shields earth from UV radiation
• The direct transfer of heat from one substance to another substance that it is touching.

specific heat capacity

• effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents
• the energy required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius

• stream-like movement of ocean water far below the surface

ozone layer

• A mixture of gases that surrounds a planet or moon.
• protective layer in atmosphere that shields earth from UV radiation
• the flow of cooler air from over an ocean or lake toward land
• The average weather conditions in an area over a long period of time

land breeze

• ocean currents on the top of the water that are driven by wind
• the flow of air from land to a body of water
