Dive into the science of ocean currents (including the Global Conveyor Belt current), and find out how climate change affects them.
—
In 1992, a cargo ship carrying bath toys got caught in a storm. Shipping containers washed overboard, and the waves swept 28,000 rubber ducks and other toys into the North Pacific. But they didn’t stick together — the ducks have since washed up all over the world. How did this happen? Jennifer Verduin dives into the science of ocean currents.

I am so amped to sea you did a video on this topic!
I have a confusion. When we say some ocean current as warm or cold, do we mean surface currents or deep ocean currents.
What a great explanation! I am doing Marine Biology and Oceanography and this video covers a lot of what we are taught in the first year, but in less than 5 minutes!
here for gcse geography 2022, explained it better than my textbook
Heat and cold, aka high pressure and low pressure, control the movement of air. The rotation of the Earth has nothing to do with it.😂
This is probably the 9th time watching this video
Wow, any time a curve creates an outer bank there is a deposit.
The animation is the great. ❤️❤️
I Guess it's result of coriolis effect.
👍
ypu pu way to much effort into this with the clay. i hope that guy who did all that got payed a decent amount
I am learning about this in my Earth Scienc, and I came here to understand it more. I'm glad I did!
the ocean is not warming up.
what are types of weather patterns that are brought by warm ocean currents.
what are types of weather patterns that are brought by warm ocean currents.
This is what the 2004 film, the day after tomorrow is based on.
here for science class
these guys would be the best teachers in school man
Very bad video not funny
”What would happen if” I feel we need to start saying “what will happen when”
Can I check something – doesn't wind / water go ANTI-CLOCKWISE in the northern hemisphere, not CLOCKWISE?
