🗑
show large volume of water flowing in a certain direction: ocean current  
🗑
show vertical movements of water toward the ocean's surface: upwelling  
🗑
show movement of water to the right or left that is cause by Earths rotation: Coriolis Effect  
🗑
An _________ is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction.   show
🗑

🗑
A ________ is a circular system of current.   show
🗑
show Coriolis effect  
🗑
show upwelling  
🗑

🗑
Density currents are caused by density changes, which are brought on by changes in temperature or __________.   show
🗑
The oceans are a major part of the __________.   show
🗑

🗑
What affects the size of a gyre?   show
🗑
How are gyres in the northern hemisphere and the southern hemisphere different?   show
🗑
Factors that affect the flow of surface currents.   show
🗑
An upwelling is caused as the surface water moves away from shore and deeper water below rises to replace it.   show
🗑
Salty water sinks below water that is less salty   show
🗑
Density currents circulate nutrient and gas rich water through the ocean.   show
🗑
What two things do ocean currents transfer that affect weather?   show
🗑
