what is this Streamlike movement of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean are called Surface Currents?
Ocean Surface Currents
100
The East Australian Current transports staggering meters _______ of water southward each second.

Current Patterns are covered in
If Earth's surface were covered only with water,
100
deep currents can cause
Temperature and salinity affect the density of ocean water.
100
how many componets
Waves are made of two main components
200
Ocean Surface Currents flow in what
Surface currents flow like rivers in distinct patterns around the Earth.
200
The East Australian Current transports staggering meters _______ of water southward each second.

what is this out of these Current Patterns and surface Currents, Warm water currents begin near the equator and carry warm water to other parts of the ocean?

That is the equivalent of______Olympic swimming pools flowing along our coastline,
16,000
300
what is this thought currents
Surface Currents
300
deep surface Cold air chills the water molecules at the surface witch causing them to
move closer together
300
what height is it for waves
Wave height is the vertical distance between a wave's crest and its trough.
400
Surface currents are controlled by
four
factors: global winds, the Coriolis effect,
continental deflections, and the water
temperature.
400
The current is almost ____km wide,
100
400
Surface Currents with winds the rotation of the Earth causes
surface currents to move in curved paths
400
deep surface Starting at a depth of about 200 meters, the water temperature becomes colder or warmer
colder as the depth increases.
400
how many crests is there
. A wavelength is the distance between two adjust crests or troughs.
500
where is the longest
The Gulf Stream, which is one of the
longest surface currents transports 25
times more water
500
more than____km deep
1.5
500
Surface currents can reach
depths of several hundred meters and lengths of several thousand kilometers.
500
The denser water moves along the ocean floor
eventually travels toward the equator in the form of a deep current
500
crest is the
A crest is the highest point
