The temperature of the water always effects the air above it. If the water is warm the air temperature gets warmer.
Example: The Gulf Stream’s water is warm. When the water washes up on England’s shore, it brings warm, muggy weather to
England.

Gyres are many ocean currents rotating in a system. There are 5 main ocean gyres.

The Gulf Stream is an ocean current that runs from
Florida, up to Canada, then across the Atlantic to
England. It is a warm current and home to many sea creatures such as sharks, whales, and many fish. The arrows are the Gulf Stream
(except it keeps going to
England).

Put a message in an enclosed bottle that floats.
Write your email or some way for the person- if someone finds it- to get in contact with you. If you never get a note back that someone found your message, then you are very unlucky. It will be cool to see where it goes!
