  3. 7. a measure of the amount of salts or solids in a liquid
  4. 11. EFFECT is the apparent curving of surface currents and wind due to Earth's rotation
  5. 12. increases the density of ocean water when only fresh water evaporates and leaves salt behind in the ocean
  6. 13. lowering this makes ocean waters colder and increases the ocean's density
  7. 14. WINDS are winds that blow across Earth's surface and create surface currents in the oceans
Down
  1. 1. the direction of ocean surface currents in the N. Hemisphere
  2. 2. the direction of ocean surface currents in the S. Hemisphere
  3. 3. CURRENTS are streamlike movements of ocean water far below the surface
  4. 6. the amount of matter in a given space or volume
  5. 8. thermo means heat and haline means salt
  6. 9. DEFLECTION is when surface currents meet continents change or deflect direction
  7. 10. one of the longest surface currents that transports 25 times more water than all the rivers in the world
