6.ESS2.1 Gather evidence to justify that oceanic convection currents are caused by the sun’s transfer of heat energy and differences in salt concentration leading to global water movement.

What causes ocean circulation?

scotttays — 2024-01-29 00:36:01 UTC

The sun heats the Earth by electromagnetic radiation of its rays. However, it does not heat every part of the Earth in the same way. This uneven heating of Earth causes some places to be significantly warmer than other places. These differences in temperatures at different places on Earth cause convection currents of hot air rising and cold air sinking. Click the video to learn more.

GLOBAL WINDS

Click and explore the global winds on Earth.

What else does the uneven heating of Earth affect?

scotttays — 2024-02-02 05:06:29 UTC

Global Winds

Global winds also influence ocean currents

scotttays — 2024-02-02 05:11:06 UTC

The uneven heating of Earth and the spinning rotation on Earth's axis causes different bands of air in the atmosphere. These wind belts also move in convection patterns, like the ocean currents. Hot air rises and cold air sinks, causing convection patterns in the atmosphere.
