Question
Answer
The surface currents in each ocean form   gyre  
🗑
An _____ can affect weather and climate   Ocean current  
🗑
Some currents move along the water's surface, and others are examples of   Upwelling  
🗑
Because of the ______ ocean currents flow counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere and clockwise in the northern hemisphere   Corioli's effect  
🗑
Circular systems of currents   Gyre  
🗑
Large volume of water flowing in a certain direction   Ocean currents  
🗑
Vertical movement of water toward he ocean's surface   Upwelling  
🗑
Movement of water to the right or left that is caused by Earth's rotation   Corioli's effect  
🗑
Surface currents are caused by ____ from the wind   Friction  
🗑
Surface currents move water ____ and extend to about 400 m below the surface   Horizontally  
🗑
The vertical movement of water from the surface to deeper parts of the ocean is a _____ current   Density  
🗑
Density currents are caused by density changes, which are bought on b changes in temperature or   Salinity  
🗑
The oceans are a major part of the   Water cycle  
🗑
The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt is a model used to explain how ocean currents circulate ________ around Earth   Thermal energy  
🗑
Ocean currents affect weather and   Climate  
🗑
An ocean current is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction   True  
🗑
Friction generated by wind on water can move the water to form surface currents   True  
🗑
Surface currents move water vertically and less than 400 m below the surface   False(Horizontally)  
🗑
In each ocean, the major currents form circular systems of currents called density   False(Gyres)  
🗑
Earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect, which influences the direction that ocean currents flow   True  
🗑
Density currents move water vertically toward the ocean's surface   False(Upwelling)  
🗑
An upwelling moves water vertically from the surface to deeper parts of the ocean   False(Density currents)  
🗑
Density currents are caused by density changes, which are brought on by changes in temperature or wind   False(Salinity)  
🗑
The oceans are the major source of moisture for the water cycle   True  
🗑
The Great Ocean Conveyor Belt is a model used to explain how ocean currents circulate thermal energy around Earth   True  
🗑
Ocean currents affect weather and climate by redistributing wind energy   False(Thermal)  
🗑
