Ocean Currents
LT: I will explain how currents circulate nutrients and
organisms throughout the ocean.
I. Surface Currents
A. Current-a large stream of water flowing
through the ocean
1. caused by
temp. and salinity differences
~Then, we labeled the currents on the blank ocean currents
map by writing the name next to the arrow.~
B. Coriolis effect-rotation of the Earth’s
causes currents to curve
C. Currents help circulate nutrients, organisms,
and gasses through the oceans.
D. El Nino-large sheet of warm water that
forms in the Pacific Ocean near South America
II. Upwelling
A. Upwelling-the
movement of cold water up from the bottom of the ocean
1. Caused
by winds along the shore
B. Importance:
upwelling circulates nutrients up from the bottom of the ocean
~Lastly, we did some Agree or Disagree statements.~
Social Studies:
Learning Target: I can demonstrate my knowledge of life in
the WWI trenches by writing a letter home.
In class today our assignment was to write a “letter home”
from the perspective of a soldier in the trenches of WWI. We are required to
use the information given to us on the 21st of January to make the letter more
accurate.
