A.
Langmuir circulation
Langmuir circulation is a wind-driven pattern of shallow, counter-rotating vortices in the upper ocean that organizes floating material into parallel streaks on the water surface.
-
B.
Callahan flow
Callahan flow is a notable basaltic lava flow associated with Medicine Lake Volcano in northern California, formed during one of its relatively recent volcanic eruptions.

D.
Ekman layer
The Ekman layer is the thin region of fluid near a boundary (such as the ocean surface or seafloor) where the balance between friction and the Coriolis effect causes the flow to spiral with depth.
-
E.
Saffman–Taylor instability
The Saffman–Taylor instability is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which a less viscous fluid penetrating a more viscous one in a confined geometry leads to finger-like interfacial patterns, often called viscous fingering.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
NEDg
Description generation
gpt-5.1
Instruction
Generate a one-sentence description of the target entity. You are given a context triple in the form (subject, predicate, object), where the object is the target entity. # Instructions Use the triple to infer relevant information about the entity. Describe the entity based on what is most defining, well-known. Avoid repeating the information from the triple, unless really essential. # Response Format Return only the sentence: "Description: [one-sentence description of the target entity]"
