Surface Currents
This is one of the longest surface currents in the world.
What is the gulf stream?
the abverated form of the eastern Australian currents.
what is the EAC
This type of water current generates at the equator.
what is warm water
what kind of water always flows on top of denser water.
what is less dense water
Most waves are found here.
What is the ocean/water?
These winds blow across the Earth’s surface creating surface currents.
What are the global winds?
in this movie, a fish is looking for the eastern Australian current to find his son.
what is finding Nemo/Nemo
This type of water current generates at the poles.
What is cold water?
These are stream-like movements of ocean water far below the ocean surface.
What are deep currents?
this is the distance between two adjusted crests or troughs.
what are wavelengths?
These are streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean.
What are Surface Currents?
this Current transports a staggering 40 million cubic meters of water southward each second.
what is the eastern Australian current
this turns the earth to make it not have straight currents
what is the Coriolis effect
This gets denser because it absorbs salts or gets deeper.
what is ocean water/water
this is the vertical distance between a waves crest and its trough.
What is wave hight.
Currents, in the Northern Hemisphere, turn clockwise while currents in the Southern Hemisphere turn counterclockwise due to what effect.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
here, the Speeds are the strongest in the South Pacific can speed up to 4.5 miles per hour.
what is the core of the EAC
When this meets landforms, they change direction. This is known as continental deflection.
what are currents
When this increases, this mainly controls Deep currents.
What is water density?
These form because of friction between the wind and the surface of the water.
What are ocean waves?
This causes surface currents to move in curved paths rather than straight lines due to the Coriolis effect.
What is the rotation of the earth?
the eastern Australian current transports about 2,624,000 feet of this per second.
What is water?
these make Warm-water currents create warmer climates in coastal areas that would otherwise be much cooler. Likewise, Cold-water currents create cooler climates in coastal areas that would be much warmer.
what is surface currents
Cold air chills what at the surface, causing them to move closer together. As a result, the volume of the water decreases, and the water becomes denser.
What are water molecules?
A form of waves that are produced by the sun and microwaves.
What are radiation waves?
