Principle_1_9-12_Jun_08, Ocean water is in constant motion. Water circulates throughout the ocean via the thermohaline circulation, and wind driven currents., Extensive mixing between ocean basins transports energy (heat) & matter (solids, dissolved substances, & gases) around the globe. The interconnected circulation is integral to the health of the Earth's ecosystems., Thermohaline circulation is a global conveyor belt of ocean water that moves throughout all of the ocean basins. Extensive mixing between ocean basins transports energy (heat) & matter (solids, dissolved substances, & gases) around the globe., The state of the circulation has a large impact on the climate of the Earth. See Principle 3, Ocean basins make up the majority of the surface area of the Earth's crust. Ocean basins are composed of the sea floor and all of its geological features., Waves are generated by seismic activity (e.g. tsunami), or wind. Ocean waves is a disturbance of water that transfers energy without displacement., Ocean waves is a disturbance of water that transfers energy without displacement. Waves break due to contact with features on the ocean floor., The Earth has one big ocean with many features. Ocean water is in constant motion., The Earth has one big ocean with many features. Sea level varies from place to place, and changes over time., The interconnected circulation is integral to the health of the Earth's ecosystems. See Principle 5
