Convection Current

Because material close to Earth’s surface is cool and heavy, it sinks. When this sinking material gets close to Earth’s core, high temperatures heat ...

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.
