Ocean currents - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
WEBAug 1, 2011 · Ocean currents, abiotic features of the environment, are continuous and directed movements of ocean water. These currents are on the ocean’s surface and in its depths, flowing both locally and globally.
Earth: An animated map of global wind and weather
WEBStudents can observe real-time global air and ocean currents anywhere on the globe. Students can zoom in and out in order to focus on more localized areas or large scale global patterns. Students can also choose from a range of map projections.
Ocean Currents - National Geographic Society
WEBOcean currents are the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind (Coriolis Effect), and water density. Ocean water moves in two directions: horizontally and vertically.
Currents - NOAA's National Ocean Service
WEBCurrents driven by thermohaline circulation occur at both deep and shallow ocean levels and move much slower than tidal or surface currents. The Currents Tutorial is an overview of the types of currents, what causes them, how they …
Ocean Currents - Earth Science Week
WEBStudents will map the patterns of the major ocean currents. Students will learn about the influences of wind, water temperature, landmasses, and water density on currents.
WEBLesson 8 presents the mechanisms that drive surface and deep ocean currents. The process of global ocean circulation is presented, emphasizing the importance of this process for climate regulation. In the activity, students play a game focused on the primary surface current names and locations.
