Question

Please Help!

I'm not really sure how to do this, but here is what I have (below)

Answer 1

2. Refer to your plotted points on the map. What are the names of the major surface currents your bottle followed?
3. Based on your knowledge of ocean currents, where did your bottle originate?
4. Is it possible your bottle could have followed different currents? If so, what were the other possibilities? Predict where your bottle would have landed had it followed those currents.


1. What kinds of factors could hinder the forward progress of a message in a bottle in an ocean current? What factors could aid the movement?
2. In the lesson, you learned about a debris convergence zone, or “garbage patch,” that can form in the center of the Pacific Ocean. How is the formation of this patch related to ocean currents? Where else in the world’s oceans are garbage patches likely to form?
3. Hundreds of millions of years ago, all the continents on Earth were connected to form a giant “supercontinent” called Pangaea. How might ocean currents have differed during the time of Pangaea compared to today? Explain your answer.
