general weather patterns over a long period of time

an idea about what might happen that is based on what you already know

a process in which deep, cold water rises toward the surface of the ocean

the distance of a place north or south of Earth's equator

ocean water flowing in a continuous path

an event or process that leads to a result or change

a result or change that happens because of an event or process

winds that move in one direction and are strong enough to push ocean currents

a climate pattern where water near the equator gets hotter than usual and affects the weather around the world; happens in the Pacific Ocean

the imaginary line that divides Earth into Northern and Southern hemispheres (halves)

a giant pattern of moving water that spans whole oceans and moves water from place to place in a circle

the distance of a place east or west of Earth's prime meridian

any of Earth's main continuous areas of land, such as Africa, Asia, and North America

to use any of the five senses to gather information about something
