Presentation Transcript

  1. FORCES GLOBAL

  2. Earth’s Rotation Trace the box in the color that you make the arrows! Earth rotates to the right/ counter-clockwise

  3. equator

  4. Continental Deflection Trace the box in the color that you make the arrows! Since the Earth’s surface is not fully covered by water, currents cannot move freely around the world. So when surface currents meet continents they DEFLECT or change direction

  5. equator

  6. CORIOLIS EFFECT Trace the box in the color that you make the arrows! The Earth’s rotation causes surface currents to move in curved paths rather than in a straight line

  7. N equator

  8. GlobalWinds Trace the box in the colors that you make the arrows! Global winds are affected by their latitude and the Coriolis Effect. In the tropics, winds blow from the East to the West. In more temperate areas, the winds blow from the West to the East. Near the poles the winds blow from East to West.

  9. N equator

  10. DEEPOCEANCURRENTS Trace the box in the colors that you make the arrows! Deep cold currents move water toward the equator. Cold water rises to replace warm water leaving. Warm water travels near the surface toward polar regions.Warm water replaces cold water.

  11. N equator
