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

__________ 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 _____________.

__________are the large whirls of water within ocean basins.

• A gyre is a large system of rotating ocean currents.

Deep-ocean circulation currents are described as ____________ circulation.

____________is the cause of Coriolis Effect.

• The Coriolis effect affects the wind by deflecting its path to the right in the Northern hemisphere and the left in the Southern hemisphere.
