• The Coriolis Effect - Because the Earth rotates at a perfect speed on its tilted axis (caused by the moon's gravitational attraction), ocean currents circulate (an average speed of 5 miles/hour) clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. horizontally and vertically - otherwise life on earth could not survive. Here is a brief list of important facts summarizing the vital role ocean currents play in maintaining Earth's fine-tuned stability in sustaining life: Day Three: God creates the Mayim for Earth's Oceans and Seas Unlike the scientists of his time, Matthew Fontaine Maury rightly credited God, not nature, for establishing the world's ocean's currents. Maury acknowledged before his scientific skeptics that God meticulously created our oceans with a continuous movement of water s to both circulate the heat Earth receives from the sun and to mix the ocean's nutrients, both
God used the same kind of precision for creating the constant flow of water in Earth's oceans as he did for providing the circulation of blood throughout the human body. Just as the heart (located in the center of our chest) pumps oxygenated blood and vital nutrients to every cell in the human body through over 100 ,000 miles of arteries, veins and capillaries, He designed the Coriolis Effect to evenly distribute the sun's heat and transport life sustaining nutrients to over 332,519,000 cubic miles of Earth's ocean waters. • Because algae and plankton in tropical oceans produces over half of the world's oxygen (and absorbs 50 times more carbon dioxide than our atmosphere), ocean currents also help to redistribute this vital oxygen supply to all marine life throughout the world.
