Overview
I'm working on a science writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
Complete the two questions below:
- For each major ocean (Atlantic, Pacific and Indian) complete the following: Draw major surface circulation patterns and label the major currents of each subtropical gyre found in that ocean with their proper names. (Remember, the Atlantic and Pacific have 2 subtropical gyres)
- You do not need to include any subpolar gyres in your drawing.
- For this next question, choose one subtropical gyre from the question above to focus on. (North Pacific, South Pacific, North Atlantic, South Atlantic, or the Indian Ocean). In a paragraph, written in your own words, describe the circulation patterns witnessed in that ocean. Use these questions to help guide your writing:
- Are there any ways circulation differs in this ocean compared to other oceans?
- What are the unique chemical and physical properties of this ocean? Are there any unique processes that occur in this ocean? Explain
