Critical Thinking - Question 2

Just for the fun of it, someone in Beaufort, South Carolina, throws a message in a bottle into the sea. Some time later, someone in Perth, on the west coast of Australia, finds the bottle. Referring to Figure 3.20 and fold-out map of this book, can you trace the path the bottle probably took?


The path the bottle probably took started from the warm currents of the Gulf Stream to the cold Canary Current where the winds would then take it to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to where it was found in Perth, on the west coast of Australia.

This is very interesting. This reminds me a lot of one of my favorite shows; “Message In A Bottle” stars Kevin Kostner.
