Checkpoint

1. Weather is the current state of the environment and atmosphere, while the climate is long term patterns of weather.

2. The earth rotates and causes the wind patterns to flow unevenly, this is called the Coriolis effect. The ocean currents is caused by a similar effect.

3. They both go east to west near the equator. Ocean currents vary more in temperature while wind currents are always warmer the closer they are to the equator
