What are air currents? Air currents are like rivers of wind caused by areas of high and low pressure.The air above the land is warmer and less dense, so it rises. The air over the water is cooler and heavier. The cool air rushes in...

Plate Tectonics Explained

About 9 million tons of plastic are dumped into the world's oceans every year -- enough to fill a football stadium 23 miles high. But a project dubbed the Ocean Cleanup aims to eliminate it with a method that researchers are testing in...

How do magnets work? Why do they attract and repel at long distances? Is it magic? No... it's quantum mechanics, and a bit more, as we explain in this, the longest MinutePhysics video ever.

Welcome back to the Fluctus Channel for our look at the amazing world of tugboats and just how important these powerhouses are. Fluctus is a website and YouTube channel dedicated to sea geeks. Whenever you are curious or an incorrigible...

Warming ocean water is weakening a major current system called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which helps regulate global weather. Melting ice in Greenland and freshwater from rivers are making the ocean less...

In this question, we will look at how we can apply KVL and KCL to solve for the unknown voltages and currents.

The marine ecosystem intricately connects with life on land through processes like the production of DMS gas by algae, which seeds clouds and nourishes inland rainforests—rainforests that in turn return nutrients back to the sea. As...

A three-month-old humpback whale calf, relies on constant attention and vast quantities of milk as it prepares for a 3,000-mile migration driven by powerful ocean currents. As their journey unfolds, oceanographer Sylvia Earle highlights...

Join Vincent and the sea rescue patrols as they launch a GPS-enabled bottle off the coast of Brittany. By studying the local currents and tides, they aim to send the bottle on a journey to England. Follow the bottle's path with...

AMAZON RIVER SOUTH AMERICA S AMAZON RIVER IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE BIGGEST RIVER, OWING TO THE AMOUNT OF FRESH WATER IT CARRIES TO THE OCEANS. 1/5 OF THE WORLDS RIVER FLOW CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THE AMAZON. THE AMAZON IS SO LARGE THAT IT HAS...

Join Vincent, Agathe, and David as they investigate the journey of a bottle thrown into the sea. Inspired by the famous 1992 plastic duck experiment, they study ocean currents, including surface and deep currents, to predict the...

A super-current runs from the Arctic past South America to the Indian Ocean. This is major factor influencing our climate, controlling everything from currents to the weather. Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. The great...

Melting icecaps are threatening one of the most important currents in the world, the Great Ocean Conveyor. If it stopped, it could have devastating impacts on our climate. Earth Science - Human Impacts - Learning Points. The Great Ocean...

The legendary El Niño effect causes dramatic shifts of weather, resulting in droughts and floods across the globe. It can all be traced to winds dying down over the Pacific ocean. Earth Science - Weather - Learning Points. El Niño is a...

We create an underwater volcano by placing a conical flask of hot coloured water in a tank of cold water. The hot coloured water rises through the cold, demonstrating convection. Physics - Energy And Radioactivity - Learning Points....

How these simple semiconductor devices allow us to control the strength and flow of electrical current in a circuit, and are integral components in modern electrical equipment. Physics - Electricity And Circuits - Learning Points....

The state of the atmosphere at a specific time and place, including factors such as temperature and pressure, wind speed, and precipitation. A Twig Science Glossary Film. Key scientific terms defined in just 60 seconds using stunning...

Explore the significant impact of climate change on ocean currents and ecosystems, focusing on the potential collapse of the Gulf Stream and its implications. Learn about the broader effects of climate change on coral reefs, fish...

Delve into the fascinating world of ocean currents, from surface flows influenced by wind patterns to deep currents driven by water density. Learn about the crucial role of currents in regulating global climate and distributing...

The Earth has uneven gravitation and this affects seas levels and ocean currents. Scientists decided to map the Earth s gravitational field to the highest degree of precision possible, so Earth scientists could have accurate information...

The video highlights the importance of monitoring polar ice cover using satellites like Cryosat to understand the impact of climate change on our planet. Unfortunately, Cryosat faced a setback when it failed to achieve orbit due to a...

This video delves into the significant impact of oceans on global climate. It explains how oceans, covering 70% of the Earth's surface, absorb and redistribute solar energy, influencing weather patterns and climate zones. The process...
