Water spins in a circular pattern because ofEarth’s rotation.BecauseEarth spins on its axis, water flows in a circular pattern. Oceans in the northern hemisphere move mostly clockwise. But in the southern hemisphere, ocean currents move mostly counter-clockwise. Think about how the Gulf Stream ...
000 meters… that’s two whole kilometers down in the water. It stays at this depth for about 10days and is carried around by the currents which operate in the ocean at this level.
Each year, 8 million metric tons of discarded water bottles and other plastic litter blankets our ocean floors and circulates through ocean currents – that’s equivalent to the weight of 57,000 blue whales. What’s more, that single-use plastic bottle someone just purchased will take 450 ye...
根据第一段“Scientists today are making greater effort to study ocean currents (洋流). Most do it using satellites and other high-tech equipment. However, ocean expert Curtis Ebbesmeyer does it in a special way——by studying movements of random floating garbage.(今天的科学家们正努力研究洋流。

Both warm and cold ocean currents have a very strong influence over climate. Warm currents in many areas make local climate warmer than the latitude would indicate. Additionally, because warm ocean currents carry intensively evaporating warm waters, they may generate intense rainfall, also on the se...
Mooring observations suggest that deep-sea currents exhibit substantial variability over tidal and seasonal timescales, driving a complex pattern of sediment transport. Lewis P. Bailey ,Michael A. Clare &Regis Wallerand Brief Communication 22 July 2024|Open Access ...
Discover the role of natural ocean currents in Galapagos, especially the Humboldt, which provides abundant food to the unique wildlife of the Islands
When ships power their way through the ocean, they pump exhaust into the atmosphere, just as cars do. And those massive amounts of particles can cause clouds to form. Get enough of those particles in one place as from the exhaust of a ship, and they can lead to the creation of new ...
