As water gets denser, how does it move?
The molecules slow down and move closer together, increasing the water’s density.
La Nina
the wind
The sun warms the water during the day, which causes the surface to get warmer.
sinks toward the ocean floor
counter clockwise
gets colder
Coriolis effect
When the air above water gets cold, what happens to water molecules?
The molecules slow down and move closer together, increasing the water’s density.
La Nina
the wind
The sun warms the water during the day, which causes the surface to get warmer.

Coriolis effect
The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth’s rotation.
The molecules slow down and move closer together, increasing the water’s density.
