___________________________ describes the worldwide circulation of water due to surface currents and deep ocean currents that work together to move heat energy around the globe.

• Global Ocean Conveyor Belt

• Coriolis Effect

• Salinity - Driven currents

Which statement goes along with this activity?

• Earth's rotation causes winds to travel in a straight line.

• Earth's revolution causes land to affect the flow of ocean currents

• Earth's rotation causes winds to curve; this process is called the Coriolis Effect.

What did we learn from this activity?

• Deep ocean currents form when two types of water have the same density.

• Deep ocean currents form when more dense seawater (cold, salty) sinks and less dense water replaces it.

• Warm water with low salinity are two properties that make water dense.

NGSS.MS-ESS2-4

What did we learn from this activity?

• Water heats up slowly and loses heat quickly.

• Land (soil) heats up slower than water.

• Water heats up slowly, but will hold heat longer than land (soil).

Which best describes the part highlighted in yellow?

• equator

• convection current

• deep ocean currents

• Coriolis Effect

NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

What did we learn in this activity?

• As wind blows across the water, the water moves in the opposite direction of the wind.

• Global winds cause deep ocean currents.

• Global winds cause surface currents.
