Across
  1. 4. global wind responsible for air transport from west to east and how the explorers would return to England
  2. 6. objects on Earth cannot travel in straight line because of Earth's rotation
  3. 7. goball winds blowing east to west and responsible for taking the early explorers to the New World
  4. 9. surface current adjacent the East Coast
  5. 10. current produced by the tradewinds
  6. 11. large circular loops of water responsible driven by the major wind belts\
Down
  1. 1. in the northern hemisphere these currents are typically broader and move more slowly
  2. 2. large circular loops that break away with a cold or warm core
  3. 3. in the northern hemisphere these currents are typically faster and narrower
  4. 5. net movement of surface water 90 degrees to the right of the wind direction
  5. 6. cold water current in the Pacific which causes West Coast waters to be cooler than East Coast waters
  6. 8. cold water current in the northern hemisphere traveling from poles to equator
