  • Q1
    Wind
    What creates waves in the Oceans?
    30s
  • Q2

    What creates ocean surface currents?
    30s
  • Q3
    Coriolis Effect
    What effect causes ocean surface currents and global winds to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere and curve to the left in the southern hemisphere?
    30s
  • Q4
    Continental Deflection
    What physically blocks ocean currents and cause them to change course/direction?
    30s
  • Q5
    Away from the equator. They take warm water in the form of a river and move it to cooler areas.
    Do warm ocean surface currents move away or towards the equator?
    30s
  • Q6
    Towards the equator. They return cool water back the equator so it can be rewarmed and circulated again.
    Do cold ocean surface currents move away or towards the equator?
    30s
