Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Outlines of the Half-Course in Natural History 4: With References to Dana's Manual of Geology, and Notes
Trade winds blowing steadily over the oceans within the tropics toward N. W. And S. W. Cause, by their con stant brushing over the surface, strong currents in the same directions, which meet near the equator and ?ow out on a westerly course. If earth's surface were wholly water this current would simply follow the equator, but being broken up by continents, it is turned N. And S. And carries into Temperate and Polar regions vast quan tities of heat.
