3+ocean+currents

What do they call the west-to-east currents? Include the name. What do you mean by "deflection" in relation to the Coriolis effect? Be more clear. I need to make sure you understand the Coriolis effect. You need to include deep ocean currents as well. Check the homepage to see how to cite each of your resources. --Mr. Beyer
 * Looks like a solid plan! Make sure you cite your resources correctly (see the homepage).

notes:
 * winds cause ocean currents
 * currents are like giant rivers flowing through the ocean
 * in the tropics the trade winds push the oceans surface water from east to west
 * north of the equator currents turn to the right and in the southern hemisphere they bend to the left
 * the coriolis affect is the defflection caused by the earth spin
 * currents flow around the ocean in great loops called gyres
 * there are about 38 main currents in the worlds ocean that form 5 huge gyres
 * the north atlantic gyres is made up of 4 surface currents: The North Equatorial Current, The Gulf Stream, The North Atlantic Current, and The Canaries Current.
 * Currents move slowly around 6 miles.
 * The Gulf Stream is a warm current that flows from the Caribbean Sea and The Gulf of Mexico up through the West Atlantic.
