Unit 3 video notes links Segment 1 Segment 2 Segment 3 Extra Links (videos & visuals) Earth System: Satellites (4 min video) Examining Global Surface/Wind Currents Earth as a System (5 min video) NASA satellite video of water vapor (Global wind patterns can be seen) What causes the gulf stream? (2 min video) Quick video of surface currents (2 min video) Thermohaline circulation (Global Conveyor Belt) ...no talking, just visual. Notice how this includes both surface and deep density currents. The pathway is different than the surface currents we studied...this is because the conveyor belt is driven by density/gravity, NOT wind/coriolis effect. All oceans are connected by this conveyor belt. The video makes it look like it travels fast, but it is very slow...much slower than the surface current systems.
