Question

5.21 Unit Test: Water and Oceans - Part 1

Answer 1

Answer:

Surface currents that move in a path similar to the wind currents

Explanation:

One of the reasons of the movement of the surface of the oceans is the force of the blowing wind. When there is a movement of wind over the surface of the ocean, the surface friction is created. Because of this there is an energy transfer between the force of the wind and the surface of the ocean water. This results in the creation of roughness of the surface of the ocean. The more the surface area of the ocean, the more is the transfer of the energy.
