What drives surface ocean currents? What are gyres? Why do they flow in large
circular loops?
Give this one a try later!
Winds drive ocean currents, gyres are large circular ocean currants and
they flow that way because of coriolis force
, Friction Force

As air flows down a pressure gradient it is slowed by friction with earths
surface
Review the major topographic features of the seafloor.

Continental shelves- shallow sloping areas near continental margins
Continental slopes- transition between continental shelves and deep sea
floor
Abyssal plains- large flat areas between 4,000- 6,00
Where is the polar jet stream?
Give this one a try later!
Between 30 & 60 latitude in the Northern Hemisphere
Where is it windiest in the United States? What is the inherent problem with this region
as a source of wind power?
