Moving Water
6
trade winds : Easterly surface winds found in the tropics near the Earth's equator
surface currents : currents on the surface of the ocean moved primarily by wind
density currents : currents driven by gravity as density differences in the ocean leads to pressure differences
deep water currents : currents found in 90% of the ocean that are driven by temperature, salinity, and gravity
Gulf stream : ocean currents named by Benjamin Franklin; found in Atlantic and carries warm water from Gulf Coast along eastern seaboard of North America
semi-diurnal : waves that occur every 12 hours or twice a day
