... why the water moves around the gyre as it does in response to gravity and the Coriolis effect. 7. Predict whether currents flowing along the eastern and western sides of an ocean basin will be stronger and explain why. 8. Describe the conditions under which eddies form and what role they play in mix ...

... Density of sea water depends on the non-linear relationship between temperature and salinity. Winds drive surface currents wind-driven or gyre circulation. Conveyor Belt: Density differences drive the thermohaline circulation in the meridional (latitudedepth) plane. Cold very salty water is found ...

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.
