Uneven heating of Earth’s surface causes atmospheric circulation
60% of heat transport is carried by atmosphere through storms thatMove along pressure gradients
40% is carried by ocean currents (conveyor belt) surface (warm) currents move poleward deep (cold) currents move equatorward
![Page 10: Chapter 3 Notes](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/556c81cdd8b42ac71e8b4f33/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ocean currents move 40% of “excess heat” from equator to poles
Driven by circulation of deep ocean waters Deepwater formation occurs near Greenland and in Antarctic

Movement of the ocean currents and winds are
also caused by the movement of the earth!

Earth is round and rotating east so water and wind are deflected to the right in N.
Hemisphere and left in S. Hemisphere

The Pacific Ocean strongly influences the climate system because it is the largest ocean basin.

WINDS
vertical circulationAir rises at equator and subsides at poles
Circulation cells explain global distribution of rainfall
horizontal circulationEarth’s rotation determineswind direction (Coriolis force) tropical easterlies temperate westerlies

The wind not only drives currents but it
causes waves
Waves are caused by the strength of the wind and the fetch
Fetch= amount of distance the wind
blows across

Tides
• Tides are huge shallow water waves.
• They are caused by:- Gravitational force of moon and sun- Motion of the earth
![Page 32: Chapter 3 Notes](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/556c81cdd8b42ac71e8b4f33/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Tides
• Tides are periodic, short-term changes in the height of the ocean surface at a particular place, due to gravitational attraction of the moon and sun and the motion of the earth.
• Wavelength can be one half of the circumference of the earth.
![Page 33: Chapter 3 Notes](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062418/556c81cdd8b42ac71e8b4f33/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Tides
• Moon has greatest effect on tides
• Sun has about one half the effect

Spring tides (springen - “to move quickly”)
During full and new moonsMost extreme tides
Neap tide (naepa - “hardly disturbed”)
During quarter moonsLeast extreme tides

Types of tides
Diurnal (one low, one high per day)
Semidiurnal (two lows, two highs per day)
Mixed (lows and highs are unequal)
