Microphones placed in the water to detect sound are called

5

gyre

The large , roughly circular cells of water that rotate around ocean basins & are driven by prevailing winds are called

Drif Wind West

The far southern current that circles the globe around Antarctica is called the

countercurren

The eastward flowing current along the equator , under the doldrums , is called the equatorial

geostrophic flo

Water movement that occurs as a result of a balance between gravity and the Coriolis effect is called
