Samuel, Maya, and Scarlett are on a field trip to the oceanography museum. They come across an exhibit that explains how some ocean currents are caused by differences in the density of water from place to place around the globe. They start discussing about the two factors that cause these differences in ocean water density. Can you help them?

Samuel thinks it's differences in water temperature and wind.

Maya thinks it's differences in water temperature and phases of the moon.

Scarlett thinks it's differences in the amount of dissolved salts and gravity.

They all agree on one point: it could be differences in water temperature and the amount of dissolved salts.

Evelyn, Mia, and Michael are planning a trip to witness a total solar eclipse, a rare celestial event that happens somewhere on Earth every 18 months on average. They discovered that these eclipses recur at any given place only once every 370 years. They are wondering why recurring solar eclipses are so rare. Can you explain?

Because of the rotation of the moon and earth, the three rarely form a straight line.

The light from the sun usually passes through the moon instead of being blocked by it.

A total solar eclipse actually occurs monthly, but it is only visible from the equator.

The Moon passes slightly above or below the line between the Sun and the Earth because of its tilted orbit.
