Thiccness
This formula describes how to calculate density.
What is mass divided by volume?
Continuous, directed movements of large amounts of seawater.
What are Ocean Currents?
The area on Earth where ocean water gets warmed up the most at the surface.
What is near the equator?
The place on the Earth where ocean water gets cooled down/becomes cold.
What is near the North and South Poles.
The name of the ocean surface current that makes things chilly at night around here.
What is The California current?
This is the reason we prefer measuring "mass" instead of "weight" in science.
What is the fact that weight changes if gravity changes?
This is a major driver of surface currents due to friction.
What is wind?
These block Westerly currents at 30 degrees north from flowing around the entire planet.
What are continents?
This is exchanged between ocean water and the air above it, affecting climate worldwide.
What is heat energy?
This term describes the rising and falling of hot and cold material, creating twin, rotating currents.
What is convection?
The number of grams in a kilogram.
What is one thousand?
The loops or "whirlpools" of major currents.
What is an eddy or gyre?
This term describes the amount of salt dissolved in water.
What is salinity?
This is how long the circulation of deep water masses take to complete a full ocean circulation.
What is 1000 years?
This one word term describes when ocean water rises.
What is upwelling?
If an fluid's mass is measured in ounces, and it's volume is measured in milliliters, its density is measured in this rate of units.
What is ounces per milliliter?
This motion of the ocean is caused by the moon.
What are tides?
Two ways that ocean water can increase salinity.
What is freezing and evaporation?
Two ways that Ocean water can become LESS salty.
What are precipitation (rain/snow) and collection (rivers flowing into the ocean).
The current that Marlin used to find Nemo.
What is The East Australian current?
An object with a mass of 25 grams and a volume of 5 cubic centimeters has this density.
what is 5 grams per cubic centimeter?
The apparent curving of moving objects due to Earth's rotation.
What is the coriolis effect?
The two factors that affect ocean water density, and are the causes of deep oceanic convection currents.
What are differences in salt concentrations and temperature?
If air temperatures in Boston are 55 degrees, and the Atlantic flowing past it is 65 degrees, which way will the energy flow?
What is from the ocean to the air?
This current has a warming effect on Japan.
What is the Kuroshio current?
