When wind drags on the water surface, it transfers its energy through the water as friction. The result of this energy transfer is a ...

Convection Currents and the Crosscutting Concepts

As the adjacent (highly idealized) image indicates, Solar heating on the Earth has the effect of producing three major convection zones in each hemisphere. If solar heating w ...

Physical oceanography
Physical oceanography is the study of physical conditions and physical processes within the ocean, especially the motions and physical properties of ocean waters.Physical oceanography is one of several sub-domains into which oceanography is divided. Others include biological, chemical and geological oceanographies.
