  10. Analysis of Data 1- Define these terms: (a) gyre (b) current (c) eddy 2- By looking at the data you plotted on your map, write a sentence or two describing the general shape of the route or pathway taken by the drifting shoes. 3- Write a few sentences EXPLAINING this pathway using appropriate terms from #1 above. 4- Using an atlas or other reference showing the major surface currents in the Pacific Ocean, (a) List the names for each of the currents that affected the distribution of the shoes, and (b) write them on your map showing their correct location

  11. Analysis of Data Answers 1. (a) gyre – Coil (b) current – steady flow of fluid (e) eddy – flow in a circular current 2. The shoes flowed in a somewhat circular motion. 3. The current that the shoes were in was flowing in a it was an eddy current. 3. (a) North Pacific, Oyashio, and Alaska are the currents that affected the shoe distribution. (b)

  12. Latitude & Longitude 1. Draw a red line along the equator (0 degrees latitude). 2. Draw a purple line along the Prime Meridian (0 degrees longitude). 3. In which ocean is the location 10 degrees S latitude, 75 degrees E longitude located? Mark it on the map with a blue "X" and write the name of the ocean. 4. In which ocean is the location 30 degrees N latitude, 60 degrees W longitude located? Mark it on the map with a blue "Y" and write the name of the ocean.
