    All currents in the northern hemisphere move in a clockwise direction, while in the southern hemisphere they move in an anti-clockwise direction. Suprisngly landmasses can be responsible for changing the course of a current. Differences in temperature and salinity are also responsible for the movement of ocean water. In the equatorial region, ocean water gets more heated than in the cold polar regions. This makes the water “light”. Water in the polar regions is cold and heavy, so it sinks and flows towards the equator. The light upper layers of water are thus forced to move towards the poles where they get cooled. Some effects are winds blowing. Winds blowing over a warm current can become warm, and at the same time, pick up moisture, as warm winds are able to retain more moisture. Therefore, the wind that reaches the land brings down the temperature and can cause heavy rain. The western coast of Europe for example, is one. Winds blow cold and dry air. They help to bring down the temperatures in places, which would have been much hotter. The California current which is cold, which flows along the western coast of the U.S, makes the region much cooler than other places in the west coast on…

    6. Explain the Ekman Spiral , and the Ekman Transport. Ekman spiral: If a steady wind was blowing over water (deep) the currents would in fact move at a 45° angle to the right (in the northern hemisphere). They would not just go in the same direction as the wind blowing. The reason for this is the Coriolis effect (causes objects to move to the right of applied forces in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere). When the wind blows on the ocean surface in the northern hemisphere, the surface current moves to the right of the wind. As the water at the surface pushes on water below it, this water moves yet further to the right of the wind, and so on. So, the deeper you go the more to the…
