PPT-Weather patterns, Jet Stream, and Ocean Currents

Weather Patterns Weather patterns 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.

Ocean Current. Coriolis Effect. Rip Current. Upwelling. Major Ocean Currents. An . Ocean Current. is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction.. 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. 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. . http. ://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/edu/learning/player/lesson08.. html. . . I. .
