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 westward surface flow at the equator in both oceans is part of the South Equatorial Current . See also Ocean current Oceanic gyres Physical oceanography The North Equatorial Current is a significant Pacific and Atlantic Ocean current that flows east-to-west between about 10Â° north and 20Â° north . It is the southern side of a clockwise subtropical gyre. Despite its name, the North Equatorial Current is not connected to the equator.
