Ocean Currents and Coriolis Effect

Deep Ocean currents are a result of

• Global Wind Patterns
• Earth's Rotation
• Density
• All of the above

The Coriolis Effect is caused by

• Earth rotating around the sun
• Earth rotating on its axis
• The tides
• Gravity

The Gulf stream carries _____________ water from the east coast of The United States to the West coast of Europe.

• Cold

• both

• neither

Due to the Coriolis Effect, water in the southern hemisphere moves

• The Equator
• Both A and B

Cold ocean currents generally come from

• The North Pole

• The Equator
• Both A and B

A strong surface current that runs along the east coast of the United States and carries warm water to Europe.
