I'm in love wid this platform. We get infinite knowledge on internet but they just make me understand it deeply nd innovatively.. I hope such platforms flourish more nd more so that people get opportunity to educate nd learn about the beautiful world.
What a great explanation! I am doing Marine Biology and Oceanography and this video covers a lot of what we are taught in the first year, but in less than 5 minutes!
Dear ted-ed, your videos are always so smart and entertaining. The best part is, they aren't so lengthy as lectures and they do make us more knowledgable in just 5 minutes. Please keep it up!
I honestly hope a lot of teachers use Ted ed videos in schools, rarely have I seen such complex concepts explained in ways that are entertaining, easy to follow and informative
Yeah, it was. Early waterbenders learned waterbending techniques by watching the Moon, like earthbenders, firebenders and airbenders learned bending techniques by watching badgermoles, dragons and flying bison.

This video helped me to understand EVERYTHING about ocean currents! I'm so thankful to Jennifer for explaining everything in a simple, understanding way! (btw, love the animations)!
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.
I did an entire 4 credit course on ocean currents. My professor made me hate this subject absolutely. This video taught me an entire new perspective of ocean currents, what the prof failed to do in 4 years. Way to go, good teaching. See teachers make all the difference to a good understanding and absolutely rot understanding
Great video. Would request you to make some more on topics such as El Nino and La Nina effect, Milankovitch cycles, Madden Julian Oscillation, Atlantic Multi Decadal Oscillation....ocean stuff. More generally, Physical World Geography. Thanks in anticipation!
this video helped so much i fell a sleep in class and did not feel like studing for 3 hours looked up a vid and found u, now i have a A cause of cause of u, thx!
I love the claymation animation! Question: if a planet was all ocean and no land masses, how would that affect ocean currents? Would they be more uniform or less uniform?
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.
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.
It's 4h50am and I was just wondering how ocean currents work after watching I SHOULN'T BE ALIVE tv show on Prime TV about people adrift for weeks in the middle on the ocean , thanks it's legit very informative !
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?
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)
I am confused how they jumped from rubber duckies a few years ago to 'knowing' exactly how the current conveyer belt works and now predicting it has slowed due to rising sea temperatures. It seems like an extremely myopic theory.
Bro u made my day ..I couldnt even understood Wats the elnino la nino ...because of u I understood ocean currents ...so deep ocean currents are traveling all around the world
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
Does anybody know whose voice it is ? I really like it and find it soothing. Thank you Ted-Ed for making these awesome videos about so many different subjects ! Entertaining and full of knowledge.
*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.
@@realsciencerhythm Yes it is but obviously it depended on when I saw the video. I wasn't searching for all such videos, it just popped in my recommended list by UA-cam. Anyway, I still felt I would make the correction just in case the video makers or any new people watch it, like yourself.
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.
Me curious how ocean currents work: I found this video very well made, I should subs... Huh, turns out I'm already subscribed. In this case, thanks again.
1:56 is wrong because in northern hemisphere it moves in counter clockwise and in Southern Hemisphere vice versa but you said it opposite. This force is called Coriolis force or Ferrell law
I am so *amped* to *sea* you did a video on this topic!
