Coriolis Effect
A climate event that occurs every two to seven years in the Pacific Ocean.
The pattern of temperature and precipitation typical of an area over a long period of time.
The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
A large stream of moving water that flows through the oceans.
Gulf Stream
The largest and most powerful surface current in the North Atlantic Ocean. It carries warm water.
The pattern of temperature and precipitation typical of an area over a long period of time.
I Dont Know
The sun
Salinity
A climate event that occurs every two to seven years in the Pacific Ocean.
A large stream of moving water that flows through the oceans.
The total amount of dissolved salts in a water sample.
The pattern of temperature and precipitation typical of an area over a long period of time.
El Niňo
A climate event that occurs every two to seven years in the Pacific Ocean.
A large stream of moving water that flows through the oceans.
Clockwise
counterclockwise
Current
A large stream of moving water that flows through the oceans.
Same as a wave
The largest and most powerful surface current in the North Atlantic Ocean. It carries warm water.
The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.

How do cold-water currents affect weather on land near a coast?
As water freezes into ice, it leaves the salt behind in the ocean waters. The water is colder and salinity increases, causing it to become denser and sink.
They bring cool, dry air to the land
It brings warm water up toward the Arctic Circle and warms the air above it, causing a milder winter in Europe.
It brings warm water up toward the Arctic Circle and warms the air above it, causing a milder winter in Europe.
Why does water get denser as it moves toward the poles?
They bring cool, dry air to the land.
I Forgot
A large stream of moving water that flows through the oceans.
As water freezes into ice, it leaves the salt behind in the ocean waters. The water is colder and salinity increases, causing it to become denser and sink.
What is the importance of the Gulf Stream Current for Northern Europe's climate?
It brings warm water up toward the Arctic Circle and warms the air above it, causing a milder winter in Europe.
Surface currents & deep ocean currents
Surface currents are driven mainly by winds and Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in density of water (colder temperature and higher salinity).
Upwelling brings up nutrients that feed schools of fish at the surface.
What are the two main types of currents? (Hint: the answer is NOT warm and cold)
Surface currents & deep ocean currents.
The effect of Earth's rotation on the direction of winds and currents.
The largest and most powerful surface current in the North Atlantic Ocean. It carries warm water.
The total amount of dissolved salts in a water sample.
How are the two main types of currents created/formed?
Surface currents are driven mainly by winds and Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in density of water (colder temperature and higher salinity).
The largest and most powerful surface current in the North Atlantic Ocean. It carries warm water.
The total amount of dissolved salts in a water sample.
Gulf Stream
Explain what happens as a result of upwelling?
Surface currents are driven mainly by winds and Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in density of water (colder temperature and higher salinity).
Upwelling brings up nutrients that feed schools of fish at the surface.
They bring cool, dry air to the land.
