Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the main cause of ocean currents? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that ocean currents are like rivers in the ocean that move water around.
  • Step 2: Know that wind patterns push the surface water, creating currents.
  • Step 3: Learn that the Earth's rotation affects how these currents move, making them curve instead of going straight.
  • Step 4: Recognize that temperature differences in the water also play a role, as warmer water tends to rise and cooler water sinks, creating movement.
