The Coasts
My post is over the marine iguana. It lives on the Galapagos Islands. It clings onto rocks with its huge claws. It dives into the water for its food. It can dive over 30 feet in the water. They are clumsy on land but are very good swimmiers.

Winds and Currents
The Coriolis Effect gets wind to start blowing. The winds in turn make the currents form. The temperature varies very much around the earth. The sun heats up the water around the equator. The wind then blows the water to different places. This can bring warm water down to be cooled off and the cold water up to be warmed up.
The shoes went to their locations because of the currents. They were carried mostly by prevailing north westerly winds along the North Pacific and Alaska currents. Some of the other were blown by the northeast tradewinds on the California current.
