Select the currents that flow from lower latitudes to higher latitudes.

Salinity in ocean water decrease when_____________.

• Near the equator, the tropics receive the most rain on a consistent basis. As a result, the fresh water falling into the ocean helps decrease the salinity of the surface water in that region.
• As we move toward the poles, the region of rain decreases and with less rain and more sunshine, evaporation increases.

Select the correct statement about Gulf Stream.

Why the maximum temperature of the ocean is always at its surface?

• The heat is transmitted to the lower sections of the oceans through the mechanism of conduction.

__________ is not a cause of generation of ocean currents.

What change can be seen in living things as climate change?

Ocean currents can be triggered by __________.

• Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms.

Mainly Ocean currents are_____________.

• Ocean currents can be caused by-
• Wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storm.

Because of the Coriolis Effect, water in the northern hemisphere moves_________.

__________is not associated with climate change.

What can be done to prevent climate change?

In ________, El-Nino gets established.

• The cycle begins when warm water in the western tropical Pacific Ocean shifts eastward along the equator toward the coast of South America.

_________ is an example of Jet streams.

• Earth has four primary jet streams:
• Two polar jet streams, near the north and south poles.
• And two subtropical jet streams closer to the equator.

________is a warm ocean current.

• The surface waters of the Kuroshio Current are warm and salty.
• This is because the Kuroshio starts in the tropics where the westward flowing North Equatorial Current reaches the western boundary of the North Pacific.
• Peruvian current, is a cold, low-salinity ocean current that flows north along the western coast of South America.
• The Labrador current is a cold ocean current that flows from the Arctic Ocean southward along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland.

The main causes of sea-level rise is ___________.

The ocean currents transport heat _____________.
