🔍 Key Concepts

• Wind-driven surface currents and what factors control how fast they move • Difference between properties of the water itself (like temperature, density) vs. properties of the current’s motion • How duration, speed, and direction of the wind affect the resulting current

💭 Think About

• Ask yourself: if the wind blows harder, in one steady direction, for a longer time, what specific aspect of the current will increase the most? • Which answer choices describe water properties that depend mostly on heating/cooling or salinity, not just wind? • Which choice describes the resulting motion of the water rather than how warm, cold, or heavy the water is?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options relate to physical properties of water (like warm/cold or heavy/light) vs. motion. • Focus on the option that describes how quickly the water is moving under the influence of the wind. • Eliminate any choices that would require changes in temperature or salinity, which are not directly controlled just by wind blowing over the surface.
