Скачать или смотреть MERMAID MINUTE #9: Ocean Currents with Mermaid Linden!

Do you LOVE MERMAIDS? Mermaid spells, dreams and tails? This is Episode #9 of the Mermaid Minute, the only ocean education web series hosted by a mermaid who loves science! Mermaid Linden created this for kids and anyone who LOVES OUR OCEANS!

So what is an OCEAN CURRENT, anyway? Well, it's a continuous movement of water through our oceans, like a giant river that carries sea nutrients, creatures and all sorts of man-made objects around our planet -- including BOATS! Ocean currents are influenced by the SPINNING FORCE of our EARTH, and the magnetic pull of our MOON! Currents play a huge role in our WEATHER PATTERNS and TEMPERATURES around the globe. Currents form our OCEANIC GYRES. A gyre is a rotating clockwise or counter-clockwise pattern on the surface of the open ocean. The GULF STREAM CURRENT carries so much warm water across the ATLANTIC, that PALM TREES have grown on the west coast of IRELAND! SCUBA DIVERS get to do something called DRIFT DIVING with the currents. The current carries them all the way past a coral reef and all of the animals in it! It's PRETTY FUN!!!

And that's an OCEAN CURRENT in a MERMAID MINUTE! I'm Mermaid Linden! Sea you next time, my little sea fans!
