It affects life everywhere on Earth, especially through currents . Currents are continuous, directed oceanic movements that carry water across the globe.They’re driven by wind, water density, tides, and Earth’s rotation, and they’re affected by bathymetry, which can change their speed and direction.
Upwelling currents bring nutrient-rich waters from deep in the ocean upward to feed microorganisms at the base of marine food webs. Currents can even move animals themselves, like a watery superhighway, distributing populations of everything from plankton to fish eggs to sea turtle hatchlings,influencing how these creatures evolve.
before I got that shot of the school of hammerheads. Basically, thereís a very, very strong current, but there were large boulders we could hide behind, so we didnít have to fight. But the currents would sweep our bubbles away horizontally away from the hammerheads. And so this large school of hammerheadsóIt was also just two of us. A large school of hammerheads swamright above us, and the bubbles were swept away without disturbing them. So I got this series of shots. You do have to hold your breath for these shots, which they tell you
the Currents column for The New York Times and also the International Herald Tribune. Currents explores fresh ideas, global culture, and social meaning of technology among other subjects.In 2009, he completed a four and a half year tour reporting from India for the Times and Herald Tribune as their first Bombay presence in the modern era. He reported on Indian's
flows to the sea it melts the plastic distributed on the beaches by the currents and melts it into the volcanic rock so that we now have instead of mud and Santa being the basis for aconglomerate rock where you have a big chunks of rock you have plastic as the substrate so I've seen sheets as big
break in California so I asked Tim Baker whose life's work has been a model ocean currents in the North Pacific to tell me if you release objects from Japan andand release objects from our coats what happens and after a half a year you can see why our subs been caught in the
It redirected that water northward, which warmed up Europe. And currents can have a cooling effect, too, like when Antarctica broke off from South America. This allowed frigid waters to circle the continent, creating a barricade for warmer waters, and chilling Antarctica into the frozen landscape we know today.
One of the most important contributions of ocean currents is the distribution of nutrients. Upwelling currents bring nutrient-rich waters from deep in the ocean upward to feed microorganisms at the base of marine food webs. Currents can even move animals themselves, like a watery superhighway, distributing populations of everything from plankton to fish eggs to sea turtle hatchlings,
The Hawaiian Islands kind of act like a massive comb or strainer in the middle of the Pacific because they're in the center of these gyres. The currents just continually sweep all this debris into the islands. And the string of them collects it all.
Charges move, produce currents . And currents produce magnetic field. So this plasma magnetic field interaction is a very basic ingredient of all plasma phenomena.
months at a time. Ocean currents can carry them thousands of miles. He's triumphantly saying, this is a viable means for getting species to remote, oceanic islands.
I become a transparent eyeball, I am nothing, I see all. The currents of the Universal Being circulate through me. I am the lover of uncontained and immortal beauty.
Male commentator: Hi everyone, and welcome to another Google Authors event at the San Francisco office. Today we're very pleased to welcome Anand Giridharadas who writes for the Currents column for The New York Times and also the International Herald Tribune. Currents explores fresh ideas, global culture, and social meaning of technology among other subjects.
maybe after a storm, maybe they're on a raft of vegetation, sometimes big chunks of the coast, trees and grass and all kinds of stuff can be ripped apart, thrust out into the ocean, and can actually travel the currents for many weeks and then land somewhere in a distant land. And that seems to be how the rodents and the primates got to South America. And it seems inconceivable how in the world could they survive a voyage like that. But we have to remember that evolution has lots of time to work with. And if you're talking about many, many, many millions of years, most of
variety of means, physical means, those particles. You push them together. The most common is called laser inertial fusion. generate it with electric currents is a little bit different. And what we do is that we have a loop of wire, and the simplest way to think
The hottest rock creeps upwards toward the surface, and the colder stuff at the top sinks back down, creating convection currents , or heat-based flow cycles. And those currents power important forces that move Earth’s plates, in one big, geologic slow dance called plate tectonics. Plate tectonics shapes our world—literally.
As we keep digging, eventually we’d make it to the mantle: Earth’s dense middle layer. It generates convection currents , which help drive the churn of tectonic plates and the recycling of rocks from the surface. The mantle is thicc with two c’s.
In your book, you present the oceans, and really our whole world, as this sort of beautiful, mechanical-esque system. And you talk about currents , and layers in the water, and about sea creatures, and even entire cultures. It's this really interesting framing.
But I think Europe is setting that standard now. We've altered the currents of the oceans.
The French theologian and sociologist Jacques Ellul argued that there are the equivalents of these deep currents that are operating within individual human lives, these more powerful, more potent underlying forces that guide the direction of our individual lives.
They have these sensory hypersensitivities, like aversions to loud noise or certain kinds of tastes. So these two deep currents in my life-- though, I really didn't discover this in any kind of a conscious way until maybe 10 years ago,
They have these sensory hypersensitivities, like aversions to loud noise or certain kinds of tastes. these two deep currents are powerfully related to each other.
There are red currents here.
What are the currents like?
If there's heavy currents -- and you guys correct me if I'm wrong if you went out when there was too heavy currents --
He writes the "Currents " column for the New York Times and its global edition, and the International Herald Tribune and also writes for the New York Times magazine.
going into the air currents , and then they can bring themselves down at a certain point or they have ways of getting themselves down
and its currents kalua's C rumbled slowly past the Factory's outer compound this was a complex of some 16 enormous
Like, the temperature of the earth determines what kind of creatures can live here, including us. But as surface water warms and currents slow, the surface waters saturate with carbon dioxide and can’t absorb any more. Many scientists recommend cutting carbon emissions to prevent large-scale disruption of currents and ocean environments.
by local weather disturbances from the deep currents that pulsate across the ocean and can be followed with the same ease with which a terrestrial explorer would
and through all of the oceans of the world. And these are these deep oceanic currents . The French theologian and sociologist Jacques Ellul argued that there are the equivalents
And here you can see the ocean currents , how they change on every season.
But the wind and water currents carry the icebergs directly into the bay because of where it's situated.
But it works like ocean currents , or it works like the jet stream.
And that's because of ocean-- basically currents and wind patterns, and where rain is brought and where it's not.
They get in under water currents and distribute all over the world.
But the punch line was that ocean currents would have flown from west to east.
But it was that these two great currents met at the North Pole and it was part of a massive thermo-regulation system
And it can actually sense air currents on the bristles on its body.
and by means of variable currents he traveled over a big portion of Southern and Central New York." "After a three hours' ride he landed at Half Way Station, between Auburn and Syracuse,
computational logic just to understand ocean currents . So now if you apply that model to native beings and economics we're placed in this context where most of
The glaciers grew into ice sheets. And that helped drive the temperature of the entire world to be much cooler. Now, this was a long-term trend then that continued to happen for many tens of millions on to this global air conditioner of the ocean currents changing that now plunge the Earth into a proper ice age. And this is the ice age, the one that we all think of when we hear the word when we
This allowed frigid waters to circle the continent, creating a barricade for warmer waters, and chilling Antarctica into the frozen landscape we know today. One of the most important contributions of ocean currents is the distribution of nutrients. Upwelling currents bring nutrient-rich waters from deep in the ocean upward to feed microorganisms at the base of marine food webs.
The bottom of the ocean is a maze of slopes, trenches, and formations that show us plate tectonics in action. It creates habitats for creepy creatures and affects the currents that are essential to Earth’s climate and life. Our planet wouldn’t be the same without it.
And one thing-- wherever there is a plasma, there is a magnetic field because magnetic field is very intimately connected with charges. Charges move, produce currents . And currents produce magnetic field.
And those baby corals are pulled away from the reef in currents .
So I'm busy thinking about these parallels to ocean currents and the flow.
And their voices get lifted up because of the air currents and we're super psyched because we can hear them.
Obviously, currents also mess with your transects.
Michael Moran: There's a couple of different currents , I'm gettin' a little out of my depth here talkin' about smart people, but there are a few currents at work here.
