Ocean Currents

Currents. Currents are moving masses of waterOcean currents transport nutrients, heat and water, acting like the circulatory system of the oceanCurrents influence climate and living conditions for plants and animals, in water and on land. . Gyres. Currents are deflected by the continents which ca

Ocean Currents

Ocean Currents . Earth Science . Ocean Currents . Currents- water in a stream Surface currents- currents that move on or near the surface & are caused by wind Deep current- move very slowly beneath the surface of the ocean & are caused by density differences in water .

Ocean Currents

Ocean Currents. Two Types of Currents. Surface Currents Deep water currents- very slow. Surface Currents. Move huge amounts of water Affect the upper 10% of the worlds oceans Move the shallow warm, low density waters Driven by wind. Surface currents. Source of energy. Prevailing Winds

OCEAN CURRENTS

OCEAN CURRENTS. Section 4 – Chapter 13. What is a current?. A curren t is a large stream of moving water. Currents actually MOVE water – waves do NOT move water. There are 2 main types of currents: Surface currents Deep currents. SURFACE CURRENTS.

OCEAN CURRENTS

OCEAN CURRENTS. There are two types of Ocean Currents: 1. Surface Currents -- Pycnocline Circulation These waters make up about 10% of all the water in the ocean. These waters are the upper 400 meters of the ocean. 2. Deep Water Currents -- Thermohaline Circulation

Ocean Currents

Ocean Currents. Currents. Giant streams of water that flow in the ocean 2 major types Surface: caused by wind Deep: caused by density/gravity. Surface Currents. This results in giant circular patterns called gyres

Ocean Currents

Ocean Currents. Ocean current affect Climate. The temperature of an ocean current affects the temperature of the air that passes over it. For example, the warm North Pacific current heats cool air that passes over it, providing a milder climate to coastal regions of B.C.

Ocean Currents

Ocean Currents. Ocean water circulates in currents caused by wind and by density differences Currents are the flow of water between areas of different surface levels or different densities. Ocean Currents. Ocean water moves constantly sideways, up, down because it is: Blown by wind

Ocean Currents

Ocean Currents. Two Types. Ocean currents are divided into two types: Surface currents , which are driven by the wind Deep ocean currents , which are driven by density. Surface Currents. Global winds flow in a regular pattern that varies with latitude. These patterns are:.
