Hydrography correct answers density dependent on temperature and salinity Compare horizontal and vertical currents correct answers Horizontal currents are typically stronger than vertical. Most currents flow horizontally, while vertical movement is very localized. Describe the Geoid correct answers The Geoid is the shape that the surface of oceans would take under the influence of earth's gravity and rotation alone, in absence of winds and tides. It is the ocean surface at rest and mirror...
