13.6 Wind and Ocean Currents Science 10 Wind Wind Patterns

Surface Currents. Origin of Currents Ocean surface currents are wind driven Ocean surface currents are wind driven Air movement due to less dense air

Ocean Currents. Two Types of Currents Density Driven (deep water) Currents Density Driven (deep water) Currents Wind Driven (surface) Currents Wind Driven

Currents, Waves, & Tides Highways in the Sea. What forces are responsible for currents? Wind: transfers energy through friction on surface; causes currents

  · Web viewOcean Currents: Wind currents (surface currents): 10% of currents. Only down to 1km. Density/Gravity Currents: Other 90% of currents. Deep water. Deep Water circulation:

WIND AND OCEAN CIRCULATION Continent/ Ocean contrasts Land/Sea Breeze Wind Circulation Ocean Currents

2. Ocean Currents - Glendale Community Collegecourseweb.glendale.edu/ppal/ppt/Ocean Circulation.pdf · Currents flow in complex patterns affected by wind, the water's salinity and

13.6 Wind and 13.9 Ocean Currents

Currents. Driven by forces of wind, tides, and gravity, currents keep the ocean in constant motion. 7 Major Currents West Wind Drift (AKA=Antarctic Circumpolar

OCEAN CURRENTS AND WEATHER. OCEAN CURRENTS AND WEATHER (MOVEMENT OF AIR CURRENTS) ARE CONNECTED. WIND INFLUENCES OCEAN CURRENTS. OCEAN CURRENTS INFLUENCE

Ocean Currents. Two Types Ocean currents are divided into two types: Surface currents, which are driven by the wind Deep ocean currents, which are driven

Factors that Affect Climate Global wind circulation...Global ocean currents Global ocean currents are mainly a result of global wind patterns and also show deflection due to the Coriolis

Wind Driven Circulation - wind energy to the ocean is a “wind stress” - wind directly drives currents at ~2 - 3% of wind speed - wind directly drives currents

Ocean Currents Objectives Describe how wind patterns, the rotation of the Earth, and continental barriers affect surface currents in the ocean Identify

Global Wind Currents. What do wind patterns have to do with oceans? CURRENTS

Ocean Currents - University of Texas at Dallas · Ocean water circulates in currents. Surface currents are caused mainly by wind and affect the uppermost 10% of the ocean. Circulation

The Surface Currents Chapter 9. Surface Currents Wind driven Coriolis effect 45º

Ocean Currents and Energy Transfer · Therefore ocean currents tend to follow the prevailing wind direction. 2) Coriolis effect: The spinning of the earth deflects the ocean currents
