8. • In the northern
hemisphere the current
flow is counter-clockwise
• In the southern
hemisphere the current
flow is clockwise
9. • When the circulating
air is deflected toward
the right in the
Northern Hemisphere
and the left in the
Southern Hemisphere.
This deflection is called
the Coriolis effect.
Coriolis
effect
12. • Ocean current that flows
away from equator carry
warm water. The air above
the warm water has higher
temperature .
13. • When a warm ocean current
that takes along warm water
goes to a land mass, the
temperature increases as
warmer air above the water
flows inland. Resulting in warm
climate
14. • An example of that is the warm
Kuroshio Current that came
from the northeast of the
Philippines that brought warm
water that raises the
temperature of places in the
southeastern part of Japan
15.
16. • When ocean currents that
bring cold water move
toward a coastal region, the
temperature of that area
decreases.
17. • For example, the southern
part of Singapore and
Indonesia have lower
temperatures because of the
cold air brought by the West
Australian current.
