World Wide Currents
1. Explain how currents contribute to the distribution of marine organisms around the planet.
2. The primary factor influencing ocean currents is temperature regulation. What might happen to the ocean currents (and has happened in the past) as global warming increases?
In the past, in Europe? there had been a ice age, because the currents of the warm water has stopped moving. So, if the global warming increases again another ice age might occur.
3. Explain how density changes cause currents.
As the water temp. changes the water will become more densed, so as the warm? hot? water decreases the cold water will rise. Therefore, this activity? will cause the waters to chrun? a bit causing movements in the water.
Use google image to find a world map. Copy and paste into paint and use the drawing tools to create the currents and label them. Then answer the questions below:
