Wind-driven currents are called surface currents.. The Earth is Spinning…. Because Earth spins, winds and water appear to be deflected in a curved motion. This is called the Coriolis Effect.

Coriolis Effect- The shifting of ocean currents and surface winds from their expected paths caused by the rotation of the earth. Gulf Steam – ocean current in the northern Atlantic ocean, brings warm water from Africa to the Americas. 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. Earth/Space. S.W.B.A.T.. Explain how winds and the .
