- Dive into the science of ocean currents (including the Global Conveyor Belt current), and find out how climate change affects them.
--
In 1992, a cargo ship carrying bath toys got caught in a storm. Shipping containers washed overboard, and the waves swept 28,000 rubber ducks and other toys into the North Pacific. But they didn’t stick together -- the ducks have since washed up all over the world. How did this happen? Jennifer Verduin dives into the science of ocean currents.

I am so *amped* to *sea* you did a video on this topic!
What can we say? It was *dolphinetely* the *sea-son* to share a good ocean video!
I order you to *sea-se* making these puns

@@TEDEd aye aye aye aye smh
That very PUNNY of you!
This stop motion effort that went into this video is incredible.

The claymation is on point ☺️ Ted-Ed uses a different animation style for each video. I really love that.
yep
wait is that not real clay?
But where is Australia?
sorry but apart from north and south america that has to be the worst model of the continents I've ever seen attempted. Nice video otherwise though.
I'm in love wid this platform. We get infinite knowledge on internet but they just make me understand it deeply nd innovatively..
I hope such platforms flourish more nd more so that people get opportunity to educate nd learn about the beautiful world.

agree boiii!!!!!!!
*The animations are very captivating!*
It is clay
Wtf
Probably some computer animation as well

It is stop motion animation ;p
Dear ted-ed, your videos are always so smart and entertaining. The best part is, they aren't so lengthy as lectures and they do make us more knowledgable in just 5 minutes. Please keep it up!
What a great explanation! I am doing Marine Biology and Oceanography and this video covers a lot of what we are taught in the first year, but in less than 5 minutes!
The moon just keeps pulling me in to these short lessons.
Camilo Iribarren 😂lol
Camilo Iribarren your punchable face makes me want to pull off the rest of my hair.
guys stop being mean
@@MrchallengeCreative Stop acting like your an elementary teacher
who's here watching this for a school assignment
me bahaha
Me
Me lol
Same
unfortunately me, for the most important academic exam of my life
I honestly hope a lot of teachers use Ted ed videos in schools, rarely have I seen such complex concepts explained in ways that are entertaining, easy to follow and informative
My teacher made us watch this 😎
yeah we watched this in school haha, i just came back to watch it again
This video helped me to understand EVERYTHING about ocean currents! I'm so thankful to Jennifer for explaining everything in a simple, understanding way! (btw, love the animations)!
I love all of your videos! Thank you for being the light of knowledge in CZcams!
This animation combination is gorgeous!
Thanks for the video.

CoughE take you by the hand
🎶 lead me to the land.
That you understand! 🎵
'Ocean man...'
the voyage to the corner of the globe is a real trip
The amount of illustrative effort in this video is amazing. An example is how is shows the Coriolis Effect - First the arrows only move up and the Earth starts spinning and the arrows change to their corresponding directions. Clearly a large amount of dedication was inputted to having the viewer understand as intuitively as possible, superb job.
The moon was the original Waterbender.
Yeah, it was. Early waterbenders learned waterbending techniques by watching the Moon, like earthbenders, firebenders and airbenders learned bending techniques by watching badgermoles, dragons and flying bison.
@@felipevasconcelos6736 That is the reason why Katara first taught Aang to 'pull' the water from the river, signifying the first time waterbenders imitated this looking at the moon pulling the tides
What they don't tell you is the moon gets help from the sun. It's a huge Water Tribe conspiracy to discredit the mighty Fire Nation!
AtarahDerek
You’re right, the sun and the moon both pull tides.
I found my people lol.
Great video. Would request you to make some more on topics such as El Nino and La Nina effect, Milankovitch cycles, Madden Julian Oscillation, Atlantic Multi Decadal Oscillation....ocean stuff. More generally, Physical World Geography. Thanks in anticipation!
Thanks for the recommendations!
These kinds of videos make me realize a bit more just how beautiful our world is. Thank you for teaching me about wonderful ocean currents
Wow... so there are layers of movement in seawater? Incredible!

I just love the content diversity on _our_ Channel - *TED-Ed* 🔥🔥
I hate egghead sometimes, I just hate smart people sometimes, I don’t even know what I am saying smartas- I mean dude
@@minhbahnsen9584 ummm actually.....sorry?
_That's how ocean currents work_
_That's not how funny comments work_
That’s how the mafia works
Yes, it is...
Yes
@@vincent4758 🤣
The video is fun as well as informative. Loved how the journey of a single water drop have been depicted!
Who is watching for exams?
dang this 4 minute video was so much better than the weeks we spent learning the exact same thing in school
OMG thank you so much this actually helps me study for one of my most important exam
Wow I love the claymation! That must’ve taken forever, respect!
this video is sooo good! thank you Ted-Ed and all the people involve in the makin of this
Dope stop motion 🤘🤘
I love the claymation animation! Question: if a planet was all ocean and no land masses, how would that affect ocean currents? Would they be more uniform or less uniform?
More since there would be no topography of the land to make it chaotic or less uniform thats my opinion
This video’s animation is just awesome. Great works from the Ted crew!
Great video as always : interesting subjects combined with beautiful graphics/claymation...
This is so much better than the ocean currents video my teacher wanted me to watch
I love all your video. The ideas are so genius and helpful💖
Btw, can you do a video about how *time works* and what cause *time* to exists? 😊
czcams.com/video/R3tbVHlsKhs/video.html
YES!!! My biology teacher linked in one of the homeworks to this video, I'm so glad that it was a TED-Ed video.
thank you so much, this video taught me more about ocean circulation than my lectures and reading from college !!
The animation is awesome
The conveyor belt reminds me of a sci-fi short story called The Roads Must Roll.
I can really understand the concept you are teaching. This helped me a lot during my assignment scheduled week. I hope you may use your creativity for the beneficial needs like us.
Keep it up😊
I love the topic of the video ,the animation too is amazing you've been always been an inspiration to us ted ed also I have a great idea for a video why not make the importance of the moon or the how to read the directions in the sky I would love that. Well done
Video uploaded 4 minutes ago
Video length 4:34
And people commenting 2 minutes ago that it's an amazing video.
Wow 😐
It's just that amazing
They foresee :)

you did my homework
Very informative, and simple to understand... Thank you so much! Helped me a lot about learning about ocean currents...
I am *currently* watching this and learning something new as I move along. Nice work!
4:06 In other words, we have to keep up with _current_ events.
OMGG XD
it just works
Indeed
At least watch this small video
You always comment on videos but you never actually watch them...
Vikas Mehra
The latter
Hey I saw your comment somewhere else
This channel and these videos are absolutely amazing!!
I've been looking way too long for a video to explain ocean currents this well
Beautiful vid as usual
Is it true that salinity is higher in cold water? When I look at salinity maps it does not seem like the poles have more salt that the equator. What other factors influence it?
Near the poles, the water freezes making glaciers while the salt is left behind. Since the water is trapped and salt is left behind in whatever water there is, the water gains density as the ratio of salt particles to water is higher Therefore less dense water rises to the surface and the salt filled water sinks. (the less dense water also has salt ofc)
more clay motion videos please. it's very beautiful, gotta applause the effort put into this video
Love the clay/playdoh stopmotion, by far the best visual in your videos :D
no clay was harmed in the making of this video
this should've uploaded earlier to help me pass my oceanography final test😅
Im watching “The day after tomorrow” movie during Covid-19 quarantine...and have to check this facts as it was mentioned in the movie..now i know.tq Ted!
Best lecture I ever heard of😅 concept cleared. 👏👏
Damn this claymation must've took a really long time.
By 00:18 I was already captivated
I love that transition to the beach music, so cool!
I did an entire 4 credit course on ocean currents. My professor made me hate this subject absolutely. This video taught me an entire new perspective of ocean currents, what the prof failed to do in 4 years. Way to go, good teaching. See teachers make all the difference to a good understanding and absolutely rot understanding
I want one of the rubber duckies!
That's a good idea 💖
i'm doing my lesson plan and then i saw this video. it's helping me rn. if it's possible, i would love to see the references. thank you so much!
This video is so important to me for my environmental class thank you
i'm confused about the rotations in Coriolis effect.. thought it was counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere🤷♀️
You are correct.
I am confused how they jumped from rubber duckies a few years ago to 'knowing' exactly how the current conveyer belt works and now predicting it has slowed due to rising sea temperatures. It seems like an extremely myopic theory.
2:30 a new continent has formed, austrasia 😁
dschonsie lol
Very informative and great animation...now I will never forget this concept.. thanks..
I just search for a few things of current flow for Oceanography class and really glad CZcams recommended me this after
Currently the ocean currents are working
Has anyone ever thought about using ocean current to drive electrical or nuclear generator turbines? Massive turbines could utilize the unprecedented power of ocean currents to produce excessive quantities of energy. I imagine that an especially large turbine positioned in the Gulf of Mexico would be able to power the south eastern seaboard all by itself.
I'd imagine sheer size presents a challenging limiting factor. Most of our hydroelectricity today depends on gravity pulling water downslope, and in addition the corrosive power of saltwater will add to maintenance. And with climate change, ocean currents are predicted to be less stable and reliable. Largely due to changes in vertical currents in the ocean that lead to less variation in surface sea temperature.
look at Bay of fundy tidal power project at nova scotia
Does anybody know whose voice it is ? I really like it and find it soothing. Thank you Ted-Ed for making these awesome videos about so many different subjects ! Entertaining and full of knowledge.
My whole class watched this😁
same
You kinda talked about this in your ghost ship video.
Thanks for the call back to another one of our animations, Steve Schultz! If anyone wants to check it out, here it is: czcams.com/video/cURn__xlWXk/video.html
1:56 is wrong because in northern hemisphere it moves in counter clockwise and in Southern Hemisphere vice versa but you said it opposite. This force is called Coriolis force or Ferrell law
I'll always like Ted Ed from now one because I appreciate the effort they put in to make it interesting and entertaining
Loved the way you presented !!!
Thanks!!
We want another episode of history vs
Like it if you agree
felt like I was watching spongebob
OMG These animations are amazing!!!
i had to watch this for my geography class
and i must admit, this was way more interesting than the actual lesson at school
whoa
*I have been sent from my science teacher*
• t î r ę d q ü ę ę n • lmao same
Same but geography XD
I came for fun :D
what a great educational video! Thank you very much
This is fascinating, i cam belief my understanding on the way the movement of the ocean current, the formation of gyres and conveyor belt in the ocean. very helpful
What does the flat earthers have to say about this? 😂
Mikk That the ancient sea god Poseidon is moving the currents.
These *clays* are actors
I mean *paid actors*
Ocean currents does not require Coriolis effect to work. Without it they would probably be different than they are now but they still would exist plus they are not completely researched and known so it's hard to find a proof that earth is round because they are the way they are now and not the other way. For example we don't even know how ocean currents would go on flat Earth and that only shows that we don't understand them good enough.

1:25 hehe 🙊
Good to see you science with Katie!!!!! 😕
You are mind blowing and your explanation about any subject 😘👍
thank you so much for this I actually understand the chapter now
Thank you for the content !
anyone else watching this for homework. 😂🤦♀️
Lmao, yes 😂
Who else is watching this because their teacher made them?
Fantastic animation, just incredible.
this video helped so much i fell a sleep in class and did not feel like studing for 3 hours looked up a vid and found u, now i have a A cause of cause of u, thx!
well ges im still failing grammer XD
i'm here bc of online school
:'D

@HANNAH SCHNEIDER what?
I like potatoes
Great sound-mixing!
This video was really easy to take notes on, thank you.
Thanks! ( ͡⊙ ͜ʖ ͡⊙)
Aqua man approves this video
I am learning about this in my Earth Scienc, and I came here to understand it more. I'm glad I did!
This video is extremely helpful for science grade 8 module E theme 4, 5 and 6.
