Gyres are called ________ currents, they tend to flow
of the elevated surfaces level in the center and the Coriolis effect
true
beneath, unclear
true
opposite to, entering, exits
wind
geostrophic, clockwise in North hemisphere, counter clockwise in Southern Hemisphere
true
Currents tend to flow around the periphery of an ocean basin because
of the elevated surfaces level in the center and the Coriolis effect
true
beneath, unclear
true
opposite to, entering, exits
wind
geostrophic, clockwise in North hemisphere, counter clockwise in Southern Hemisphere
true
Circular flow in each ocean basin is call a gyre
of the elevated surfaces level in the center and the Coriolis effect
true
beneath, unclear
true
opposite to, entering, exits
wind
geostrophic, clockwise in North hemisphere, counter clockwise in Southern Hemisphere
true
Western boundary currents flow more quickly than eastern boundary currents partly becuase the trade winds pile water on the western ocean boundary
