Wind Patterns
Circular pattern of the wind, caused by differences in temperature.
Stream-like movement of water in the ocean.
Ocean current
Solid state of water.
Ice
Temperature or heat
The force of air molecules pressing against other particles.
Air pressure
This is carried from Africa to South America.
Dirt
Currents that form near the surface of the ocean.
When water vapor changes back to liquid.
Condensation
Process where solar energy travels through space.
Radiation
LxWxH=?
Volume
Area near the equator that has little wind.
Currents that form near the bottom of the ocean.
Deep ocean currents
Most common way that water becomes water vapor.
Evaporation
When energy, typically heat, is transferred from one object to another.
Conduction
p=m/v
Density
Direction the wind blows near water during the day.
Water to land
One of three things that will affect ocean currents.
Coriolis Effect, Continental deflection, wind
When water vapor changes directly to ice.
Deposition
The energy of motion.
Kinetic energy
Density after salt is added to water.
Higher
Causes wind patterns to shift due to the rotation of the Earth.
Coriolis Effect
Causes ocean currents to shift because of the rotation of the Earth.
When ice changes directly to water vapor.
Sublimation
When matter moves because of different densities.
Convection
When water seeps into cracks and freezes causing weathering.
Infiltration
