One sample question with the full working. 1 more in the app, with instant feedback and repair sessions for the traps below.

Large movements of water in the oceans in a definite direction are

Atides
Bocean currents
Cwaves
Drivers

Show the answer and working

Answer: B

Directional ocean flow = current.

Trap A Confuses ocean currents and their effects: Cold currents (Canary, Benguela, Humboldt/Peru, Labrador) cool coasts and contribute to coastal deserts (Namib, Atacama) and fog. Warm currents (Gulf Stream/North Atlantic Drift, Guinea, Kuroshio) warm coasts. Mixing of warm and cold water favours plankton and fishing grounds.

Trap C Picks a closely related feature or term: Learn related features as contrasting pairs: how each forms and what it looks like.

Trap D Gives only part of the answer: Recall the full definition or list of factors and check the option covers it.
