Since the Earth is a rotating sphere, the winds that carry heat energy into the upper atmosphere do not blow in straight lines toward the north or south. The eastward rotation of the Earth results deflects air moving north to the northeast and ...

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.
