Air Mass
Bodies of air extending over large areas (1,000 miles or more) that develop and retain specific characteristics of pressure, temperature, and
humidity

A directional movement of ocean water; surface currents result from steady winds over the ocean surface. Deep
currents result from density variations due to temperature and salinity differences
