Ocean Current. is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction.. Wind-driven currents are called surface currents.. For tens of millions of years, Earth's oceans have maintained a relatively stable acidity level. It's within this steady environment that the rich and varied web of life in today's seas has arisen and flourished. But research shows that this ancient balance is being undone by a recent and rapid drop in surface pH that could have devastating global consequences.. Steven Ackleson. , Consortium for Ocean .

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. Section 2: Life in the Oceans. Section 3: Ocean Resources. Salinit. y. - measure of the mount of dissolved salts and other solids in a given liquid. Thermocline. - marks the distinct separation between the warm surface water and the deep, cold water.
