| 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) |
