Analysis Of Data
1- Define these terms: (a) gyre (b) current (c) eddy
2- By looking at the data you plotted on your map, write a sentence or two describing the general shape of the route or pathway taken by the drifting shoes.
3- Write a few sentences EXPLAINING this pathway using appropriate terms from #1 above.
4- Using an atlas or other reference showing the major surface currents in the Pacific Ocean, (a) List the names for each of the currents that affected the distribution of the shoes, and (b) write them on you map showing their correct location.
Answers to Questions 1-4
1. (a.) gyre is a ringlike system of ocean currents rotating clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere
(b.) currents pass from on to the other; circulating
(c.) eddy is a current at variance with the main current in a stream of liquid or gas; having a rotary or whirling motion
2. Most of the drifting shoes stayed in the same place, except for when they separated. The route changed after two years. In two different months, the shoes had a distance apart from one another.
Answers to Questions 1-4 Cont.
3. While the shoes are drifting, they are flowing like currents. Even though some of the shoes wasn’t in a different location, it shows that currents are passing through. In the years that the shoes were spilled, they’re going from one to the other.
