Tides and Ocean currents

Tides And Ocean Currents.

Surfers and seafarers all know that the water around New Zealand is changing.

Driven by the wind,the warm subtropical water flows and swirls around the island.

Tides ebb the  flow along the coast, and where fresh and seawater are brought

together at estuaries, fiords and river plumes-unique environments are created.

Wind blown from the East New Zealand  lies in the path of an eastward-flowing

currents, which are driven by winds that blow across the South Pacific Ocean.

These winds, the South East trades to the north,and the roaring forties to the

south, drive the water along the equator.

But even the most sophisticated satellite technology cannot provide analysis of the ocean

beyond a few centimetres deeper than the surface. 

To record the changes under the sea, back on board the research ships, Oceanographers use sophisticated cameras and equipment to record changes in ocean properties. Valuable data is archived and synthesised to build a picture of how ocean environments behave.

This were I got my information from:

Five quick facts about the weta.

This is where I got my facts from :

http://www.kcc.org.nz/weta

• The weta is sometimes called the dinosaur of the insect world

• The weta is more primitive than the tuatara. The weta has changed very little in the past 100 million years.

• Weta have their ears on their front knees and can feel the vibrations of noises around them.

• You can tell a male and female weta apart because females have a long ovipositor, which looks a bit like a stinger, which they use to lay eggs.

• The weta is only found in New Zealand and is so old it has outlived the dinosaurs.
