Answer:

The drag from wind holds the responsibility for driving ocean waves in addition to the surface tension.

Explanation:

The ocean currents at the first 100 m of its surface is moved by the wind drag.  Whereas, the ocean currents flowing below the thousand meters of its surface are driven by water's density gradient, which is governed by thermohaline circulation, 'thermo' means temperature and 'haline' means salinity. The centrifugal force has no role to do in driving the ocean current in its surface and earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect which is an example of hurricane winds.

If globes are better at showing the Earth accurately, why do we still use maps?
vredina [299]

Answer:

Even though globes are showing Earth more accurately, the maps are still used because they are more practical.

Explanation:

Earth is generally shown with two methods, one being the maps (map projections) and the other being globes. Both are used and will be used, as both have several advantages, but also several disadvantages. Despite globes being closer and more accurate in their representation of Earth, the maps are still used because they are much more practical.

The globes show Earth very close to its true form, though they are made as a ball, not as an ellipsoid. Anyhow, the globes don't have distortions of areas, so the sizes and locations are accurate on them. On the other hand, globes are highly impractical because of their shape, as they are don't often fit in standard backpacks or bags, and can easily be broken or damaged. Also, we can not see the entire Earth at any moment, so it is hard to make comparisons by using them.

The maps, on the other side, do have inaccuracies, mostly by having distortions, be it around the Equator or around the poles. Despite this, they have a relatively good accuracy that in most cases is enough for practical usage. Also, their form and weight make them easy to use, move from place to place, and the entire world can be seen at the same time, thus they are very practical when it comes to making comparisons.
