Salinity
This is the definition of "salinity."
The amount of salt dissolved in a particular body of water.
Basically, how salty the water is!
Warm waters flow ______ the poles.
Cold waters do the opposite.
This is the definition of "density."
A substance's mass per unit of volume. Basically, how compact an object is!
This is an example of human caused pollution.

As you go deeper into the ocean, this happens to the salinity.
It increases.
Generally speaking, these are the two types of ocean currents.
Surface currents and deep currents.
This happens to denser ocean water.
It sinks.
These are the two main types of winds
Local and global winds.

This is where salt in the ocean comes from.
Land, ocean rocks, etc.
The main cause of surface currents is this.
Wind

Precipitation, evaporation, condensation.
Mr. Hughes currently plays 3 intermural sports at Ohio State: Football, baseball, and ______.
Volleyball
This causes deep water ocean belts to circulate.
Salinity + Temperature.
These three factors affect ocean currents. (More may apply, but only name 3).
Temperature, wind, density, salinity, etc.
This is the unit of measurement for the density of a cube whose volume is measured in centimeters and mass is measured in grams.
g/cm^3
Ocean and wind currents tend to move in this direction in the Northern Hemisphere.
It is the opposite in the southern hemisphere.
Clockwise.
Mr. Hughes has one dog. What breed is it?
Husky/German Shepherd Mix
This is why understanding ocean salinity is important.
Salinity has a major effect on the flow of deep ocean currents that move heat from the tropics to the poles and affect global climate.
This causes ocean currents to curve.
The Coriolis Effect.
This is the density of a rectangular prism with a length of 2cm x 4cm x 5 cm. The mass of the prism is 150g.
3.75 g/cm^3.
Circular wind patterns that create spiral ocean currents are called this Latin word.
Gyres.
