What is it changes direction, known as the continental deflection?
What affects the density in ocean water?
How does a cold front form?
What is when a cold air mass moves under a warm air mass, and pushes the warm air mass up?
What type of weather usually comes with a stationary front?
What is cloudy/little precipitation?
What are surface currents controlled by?
Global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflections.
What does more dense deep current do when it meets less dense currents?
When a cold air mass and warm air mass move toward each other and neither has enough energy to push the other out of the way?
What is a stationary front?
