Match each description with the circulatory term that correctly describes it.
Premises:
The global oceanic circulatory system that is driven by differences in heat and salinity.
Large oceanic circulatory systems that form because currents are deflected by landmasses.
A current that sinks to great depths within the ocean because salinity increases as temperature drops.
The reason ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere generally move in a clockwise direction.
A current that ascends to the surface of the ocean because salinity decreases as temperature warms.
Responses:
downwelling current
upwelling current
Coriolis force
gyres
