Currents. Early ocean studies. For much of human history, knowledge of the ocean and its currents was not recorded for many reasons - most sailors could not write and information was passed orally.. European nations began systematic ocean explorations but kept information secret between the 15. 2 d2p=4:15106 1:941019=2:141013sr(1) a=A d2a=4:15106 5:331019=0:781013sr(2)It'spossibletowritethisintermsofapercentchange:%changein = p a p+ a 2=2(2:140:78) 2:14+0:78=0:93=93%:(3)Problem2Di The Earth is Spinning…. Because Earth spins, winds and water appear to be deflected in a curved motion. This is called the Coriolis Effect. Which way do things. not connected to . Earth get deflected . Currents. Ocean water contains streamlike movements of water called . ocean currents.. Currents can travel extremely far. In ancient times, currents were largely responsible for any human travel across the oceans. It is believed that currents carried the ancient Peruvians over 6,000 km across the south pacific to Polynesia. . Global winds. Ocean Currents . Local winds. Coriolis Effect.

An Ocean Current . is a directed, continuous movement of ocean water generated by various forces.. 2. Currents are caused by various factors:. Temperature. Different salinity levels. The water in the ocean moves in giant streams called currents.. Scientists place ocean currents into two major categories: surface currents and deep currents.. Surface . Currents. Ocean currents that occur at 328 feet deep or above. Weather Patterns. Weather pattern’s are described as prolonged temperature changes over a specific area for example seasons.. Weather patterns can also be described as a period for which natural disasters are prevalent ex. Hurricane season, tornado season, blizzards. How do different currents form. What is upwelling.
