A) The elevation finder can help you find out the elevation of land for a country, place or other location. You can even figure out the land elevation below the sea or ocean. You can do this by typing in an address, name of a place, coordinates etc., into the corresponding input fields above.
I saw an experiment in a small ramshackle museum in Ecuador on the equator. There was a sink on a stand. When it was placed a metre on one side of the equator the water circled clockwise as it drained, one metre on the other side the water drained anti-clockwise and when directly over the equator the water drained, straight down, with no rotation.
The water at the ocean surface is moved primarily by winds that blow in certain patterns because of the Earth s spin and the Coriolis Effect. Winds are able to move the top 400 meters of the ocean creating surface ocean currents.Surface ocean currents form large circular patterns called gyres.urface Ocean Currents.
