C) the apparent deflection of the path of air currents and ocean currents that results from the earth, its atmosphere, and ocean water all moving at different speeds
D) the vertical exchange of water due to differences in density
E) the horizontal exchange of water between the poles and the equator that occurs as the result of changes in the temperature and salinity of the water
