Ring Detectives
Description:
The focus of this lesson is warm- and cold-core rings in the Gulf Stream. In this activity, students will be able to describe the overall flow of the Gulf Stream, explain how it affects biological communities in the North Atlantic Ocean, and describe Gulf Stream rings and explain how they are formed. Students will also be able to compare and contrast warm-core rings and cold-core rings and explain how Gulf Stream rings may affect biological communities on the edge and slope of the continental shelf adjacent to the coasts of North and South Carolina.
