sea and the difference between the densities of various types of water. Currents near the surface are generally powered by the wind. Because of the Earth’s rotation‚ winds tend to drive currents clockwise in the northern hemisphere. South of the equator‚ they flow in the opposite direction. Deep below the surface‚ difference in water temperature and salinity propel the deep-sea currents that bind the world’s oceans together. Some of ocean currents are only a few miles long‚ and others extend

Astronomical Cycles and Their Effects on Planet Earth By Harry Mowat The orbit of the Moon around the sun The Moon orbits around the Earth every 27.3 days. The Moon’s orbit around the Earth is not a circular orbit but more of an eclipse and the orientation or the orbit is not fixed but differs in time. The Earth and the Moon are both actually orbiting the sun (the Moon at a much faster rate) but in the process of that orbit the Moon orbits Earth. This process is the main cause of tide formations

The tropical monsoon climate is found in those regions where there is a complete seasonal reversal of winds. It is mainly found beyond the equatorial region between 10° and 25° North and South of the Equator. On-shore summer winds blowing from over tropical warm oceans generate the abundant precipitation‚ while the off-shore winds from over land make the weather dry during winter. The most clearly defined monsoon climates are located in the coastal areas of the eastern and southern Asia. For example

1.1 GRAVITY AND GRAVITATIONAL FIELDS 1.1.1 Define weight as the force on an object due to a gravitational field. Weight is the force experienced by an object due to the presence of a gravitational field. This force is directly related to the strength of the gravitational field acting on an object and the mass of that object. m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity m = mass‚ g = acceleration due to gravity Fg = mg Fg = mg 1.1.2 Explain that a change in gravitational
