    The amount of illustrative effort in this video is amazing. An example is how is shows the Coriolis Effect - First the arrows only move up and the Earth starts spinning and the arrows change to their corresponding directions. Clearly a large amount of dedication was inputted to having the viewer understand as intuitively as possible, superb job.

    Has anyone ever thought about using ocean current to drive electrical or nuclear generator turbines? Massive turbines could utilize the unprecedented power of ocean currents to produce excessive quantities of energy. I imagine that an especially large turbine positioned in the Gulf of Mexico would be able to power the south eastern seaboard all by itself.

    • @vivianloney8826
      @vivianloney8826 2 роки тому +2

      I'd imagine sheer size presents a challenging limiting factor. Most of our hydroelectricity today depends on gravity pulling water downslope, and in addition the corrosive power of saltwater will add to maintenance. And with climate change, ocean currents are predicted to be less stable and reliable. Largely due to changes in vertical currents in the ocean that lead to less variation in surface sea temperature.

    Is it true that salinity is higher in cold water? When I look at salinity maps it does not seem like the poles have more salt that the equator. What other factors influence it?

    • @scoobydoo-rm1ki
      @scoobydoo-rm1ki Рік тому

      Near the poles, the water freezes making glaciers while the salt is left behind. Since the water is trapped and salt is left behind in whatever water there is, the water gains density as the ratio of salt particles to water is higher Therefore less dense water rises to the surface and the salt filled water sinks. (the less dense water also has salt ofc)

    One thing that was wrong here I think is that when you show the Coriolis effect you can't rotate the earth and at the same time show that the winds deflect. Either you show that earth rotates, while the winds move straight up and down, or keep the earth stationary and show that the winds take a curved deflected path. Moving both at the same time would be wrong

    *IMP* There's a major error in this video. Please correct. Direction of the gyres is opposite to what you showed 1:55.
    Actually it is "anticlockwise" in Northern hemisphere and "clockwise" in Southern. You can verify it from numerous sources. Due to Coriolis effect, the winds moving towards low pressure point in Northern hemisphere get deflected towards right, causing anticlockwise rotation. Opposite in Southern hemisphere.
    I hope you will do the correction at the earliest since many student watch these videos.

      Ocean currents does not require Coriolis effect to work. Without it they would probably be different than they are now but they still would exist plus they are not completely researched and known so it's hard to find a proof that earth is round because they are the way they are now and not the other way. For example we don't even know how ocean currents would go on flat Earth and that only shows that we don't understand them good enough.
