I I Sampling sites on Kveisdalen bays southeastern side Two lagoons exist one on the western one on the eastern side The climate is Steffensen 1982 Fog frequent especially annual mean precipita. 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. Vocabulary. 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.. s. Warm. . currents flow . away. from the . equator.. Cold. currents flow . toward. the . equator.. Ocean Currents. Sun. Wind. Coriolis. Effect. Gravity. Factors Influencing Currents. Energy from the Sun heats the water.. Submarine Relief. Hydrosphere. 71% of total surface of the earth. Term ‘sea’ used for water bodies close to continental margins. Great mass of water surrounding oceans called ‘oceans’. Submarine relief. Wind-driven surface currents. Figure 7-4. Ocean Circulation Animation. Ocean Currents. Ocean currents- are stream-like movements of water. Ocean currents affect our weather and climate. 2 Types:. 1) Surface Currents. What is a current?. 1. 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. What do ocean currents transfer. Predict. T F. Ocean currents are always cold. C. ontinents affect the direction of currents. Currents only flow near the surface of the 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. By: Sean Meisner, Amanda Onwukwe, Arrian Bolden Pd:2nd. What Is Wind?. Wind: Is air moving across the surface of the Earth. Wind occurs because sunlight heats the earth’s atmosphere and surface unevenly.. Navigating. Navigating ocean currents and ice drift. In the past many people did not know that there was ice in the Arctic Ocean or that the ice moved. . We first learned this from finding objects that had drifted across the Arctic..
