Nike Shoe Investigation Cont.ANALYSIS OF DATA:1- Define these terms: (a) gyre (b) current (c) eddy(a)a circular course or motion (b)moving in a certain direction(c)a small whirlpool2- By looking at the data you plotted on your map, write a sentence or two describing the general shape of the route or pathwaytaken by the drifting shoes.Most of the shoes drifted west toward Western America. A majority of the drifting shoes landed in California. 3- Write a few sentences EXPLAINING this pathway using appropriate terms from #1 above.The currents moved the shoes away from Asia, and west toward America. During the shoes' travel toward America, it is possible that the shoes got caught in an eddy or gyre. 4- Using an atlas or other reference showing the major surface currents in the Pacific Ocean, (a) List the names for each of thecurrents that affected the distribution of the shoes, and (b) write them on you map showing their correct location.(a)North Pacific, North Equatorial, Equatorial Counter

Extra 5- Using a more detailed map or an atlas showing the Pacific Ocean with a distance scale, calculate approximately how far theshoes traveled between the point where they spilled and their first landfall.6- Considering the distance you figured in #5, and the time it took for the shoes to make their first landfall, (a) What was thespeed of the current moving those shoes in kilometers per day? (b) miles per day? (c) kilometers per hour? (d) miles per hour?7- Calculate approximately how far the shoes traveled between California and Hawaii.8- Considering the distance you figured in #6, and the time it took for the shoes to move from California to Hawaii (a) Whatwas the speed of the current moving those shoes in kilometers per day? (b) miles per day? (c) kilometers per hour? (d) milesper hour?9- Name the two surface currents you have been studying in the above questions.10- Based on your calculations, rank the two surface currents according to their speed.11- Based on the average speed of the two currents, how long would it take for plankton drifting off the coast of San Franciscoto reach Santa Monica Bay?
