CHAPTER 31 OCEAN CURRENTS TYPES AND CAUSES OF CURRENTS 3100. Definitions The movement of ocean water is one of the two principal sources of discrepancy between dead reckoned and actual positions of vessels. Water in motion is called a current; the direction toward which it moves is called set‚ and its speed is called drift. Modern shipping speeds have lessened the impact of currents on a typical voyage‚ and since electronic navigation allows continuous adjustment of course‚ there is less need to

The Leeuwin Current is a tropical current‚ consisting of warm‚ low salinity water that affects Western Australia’s coastal waters and wildlife. Currents are part of a large sub circular current system called a gyre. The currents in the Southern hemisphere gyres circulate in an anti-clockwise direction (Skinner‚ Porter & Botkin‚ 1999‚ p.249).

Current Balance PHY 114 10/29/2013 Abstract: The purpose of this experiment was to understand the current balance‚ current balance is an apparatus that allows measurement of the small force between two current carrying conductors. It consists of two parallel horizontal bars‚ which are connected in series. The current flows in opposite directions in the two conductors so there is a repulsive force between them‚ by Newton’s third law there are equal and opposite forces on both wires. In the

Properly accounting for subsequent events is important because investors’ opinions could be dramatically altered by the events and transactions that occur after year end. If subsequent events are not given proper consideration‚ the financial statements that are issued at year-end may be misleading. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 855 provides guidance on the proper accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events. Due to the potential impact subsequent events may have on the financial statements

the pattern of population change in the UK? There are many different components that all add together for the reason why population does change in a specific location. This change is considered ‘dynamic’ as it is constantly changing due to many factors that are always effecting the rate of population change. One of the biggest influences of population change would be the birth and death rates of an area. Birth/death rate is the total number of births/deaths per 1‚000 of a population in a year. The
