Subsurface ocean currents continually circulate from the warm waters near the equator to the colder waters in other parts of the world. What is the main cause of these currents?

• Differences in topography along the ocean floor

• Differences in density of ocean water

• The rotation of the Earth on its axis

• Movement of jet streams

How does the Coriolis Effect impact ocean currents?

• It causes warm surface currents to flow towards the equator and cold surface currents to flow away from the equator

• It causes warm surface currents to flow away from the equator and cold surface currents to flow towards the equator

• It causes warm surface currents to flow towards the equator and cold surface currents to flow towards the equator

• It causes warm surface currents to flow away from the equator and cold surface currents to flow away from the equator

How would the climate of a coastal city compare to that of an inland city?

• The coastal city would have more stable temperatures due to more water vapor in the atmosphere

• The inland city would have more stable temperatures due to more water vapor in the atmosphere

• The coastal city would have more stable temperatures due to less water vapor in the atmosphere

• The inland city would have more stable temperatures due to less water vapor in the atmosphere
