Today we learned that winds affect the currents on the surface of the water. If the winds are blowing one way then the surface of the water will go the same way. Also, the wind can bring in cold or warm air depending on the temperature of the water. So, this mean that the area can be warmed or cooled by the wind. This relates to my topic because a cyclone is spiraling wind. There can be tropical cyclone which only happen in warm climates where warm water is. Then just regular cyclones which can happen wherever, but most common place is in tropical climates. This activity to me was pretty common sense like. I mean, if the wind is blowing in one direction of course the water will go with it. If the wind is strong enough, it can direct whatever it feels. If you go to the beach you notice the closer you get to the water the colder it gets because the water is making the wind cold. Sometimes on days when the water is calm the wind is usually warmer.
