Draw models to show how uneven heating of Earth, global winds, and the California current influence the coastal and inland climates of California. In your models, show the directions of air, water, and energy flow. Write a summary for each model, including the effect of the ocean and mountains where appropriate. Be sure to explain how uneven heating of Earth and the Coriolis effect influence global winds and currents.

Answer:The water in the oceans is constantly moving. The

surface water moves in circular patterns due to

the rotation of Earth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Warm water from the equator flows north in the

Northern Hemisphere and south in the Southern

Hemisphere. Cold water from the poles flows

south in the Northern Hemisphere and North in

the Southern Hemisphere.

Currents move clockwise in the Northern

Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the

Southern Hemisphere.
