I am taking an oceanography class. Our discussion topic for the week is this: Suppose you are a particle of water dropped in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Florida. Describe the path you may take to get to one of the following locations: off the coast of Madagascar, or off the coast of Peru. Explain what caused your movement. Name the currents you travel in. Try to estimate how long your journey took.
Oceanography is not my forte. :( I'm staring at an ocean currents map I pulled up from Google and I don't know where to begin. I can name the currents but how do you figure out how long the journey will take?
Thank you!
