The Picture of Part of Earth - Essay Example

Between the two continents, lies the Caribbean Sea dominated by several islands that form a string represented in green color.

The left part of the picture of part of Earth represents the Pacific Ocean. The Caribbean Sea forms the transition with the right part of the picture representing the Atlantic Ocean. The picture shows white spinning shapes on the ocean water that represents the direction of the movement of winds. In the Pacific Ocean, the circular representation of whirls on the ocean shows the North and southeast trade winds. They originate from the poles (top and bottom of the picture) and converge at the centre that represents the equatorial region (Petersen, Sack and Robert 85).  To the top right of the picture is a white representation of the direction of the North Atlantic winds. To the top of the picture is thick white shading, which is a depiction of the arctic present in the north. The white represents the snow that covers the arctic area.
