In the figure above, which of the labeled currents are warm water currents?

-B -E -F

Using this image of the waters adjacent to the East Coast of the United States, match the correct letter to each of the following.

B: Cold core ring(s) C: Color for warm water A: Color for cold water D: warm core ring(s)

The following block diagram shows coastlines in the Northern Hemisphere that are influenced by coastal winds (not shown). Based on the flow of surface waters due to Ekman transport, identify the correct coastal wind direction in each diagram.

B: Wind blowing parallel to the coast and toward the bottom of the diagram A: Wind blowing parallel to the coast and toward the top of the diagram

The image below is a block diagram showing the Pacific Ocean during an El Niño event. Correctly match the letters with the corresponding features.

C: high atmostpheric pressure E: Pacific warm pool A: thermocline B: walker circulation cell (reversed direction) D: low atmospheric pressure

Use the map of Pacific and Atlantic Ocean currents shown below to correctly identify the following ocean currents and gyres.

D: Benguela Current C: Gulf Stream Current G: Peru Current A: Subpolar gyre B: Subtropical gyre E: California Current F: Canary Current I: Brazil Current H: Antarctic Circumpolar Current (West Wind Drift)

In the figure above, which shows a cross section of the Atlantic Ocean extending from Greenland (north) to Antarctica (south). Which labeled layer has the highest density?

G

In the figure above, which of the labeled currents are eastern boundary currents?

-C -n -H

In the figure above, which of the labeled currents are shallow, weak, and slow currents?

-N -H

The image below is a block diagram showing the Pacific Ocean during an El Niño event. Correctly match the letters with the corresponding features.

D: Antarctic Bottom Water C: Seasonally warm water B: Warmest water F: North Atlantic Deep Water E: Antarctic Intermediate Water G: Upwelling A: Thermocline and pycnocline

In the figure above, which shows a cross section of the Atlantic Ocean extending from Greenland (north) to Antarctica (south). Which labeled layer represents a cold-water mass mixing with warmer water to create a water mass with intermediate density?

E

In the figure above, depicting a hypothetical wind direction in an ideal world. The iceberg broke off from the Greenland Ice Sheet and floated into the ocean. Under the prevailing wind conditions, in which direction would the iceberg be pushed?

toward D

Refer the figure above. In which direction would the entire surface current underneath the Greenland iceberg be expected to travel?

toward E
