| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| the surface in each ocean form circular systems of currents | gyre |
| a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction can affect weather and climate | ocean current |
| some currents move along the waters surface and other are example of vertical movement of water toward the oceans surface | upwelling |
| movement of water to the right or left that caused by earths rotation | coriolis effect |
| large volume of water | ocean current |
| surface currents are caused by | friction |
| surface currents move water | horizontally |
| system of circular currents | gyre |
| right or left | coriolis effect |
| vertical movement of water upwards | upwelling |
| vertical movement of water downwards | density currents |
| changes in temp or | salinity |
| ocean are major part of | water cycle |
| the grreat ocean conveyor belt is a model used to explain how ocean currents circulate | thermal energy |
| ocean currents affect whether and | climate |
| an ocean current is large volume of water flowing certain direction TF | T |
| friction generated by wind on water can move can move water to form surface currents TF | T |
| surface currents move water vertically TF | F |
| in each ocean the major surface currents form circular systems of currents called density currents TF | F |
| Earths rotation causes coriolis affect TF | T |
| density currents move water vertically toward surface TF | F |
| An upwelling moves water down TF | F |
| density currents are caused by density changes which are brought on by changes in temp or wind TF | F |
| The oceans are major part of water cycle | T |
| Ocean currents affect weather and climate by redistributing wind energy TF | F |
