'''Climate'''

The following maps show the areas that most commonly recieve rainfall during that particular season.  I made these maps with a print out of the main map and a highlighter, so they aren't the greatest maps that you have ever seen but I think they convey the information that they need to.

'''Currents'''

The following is a map showing the flow of currents along the land masses.

Currents in the inner seas are fairly weak averaging 1-2 mph, except in area's of constriction where speeds increase to 2-4 mph. If one looks at the map of the currents of the inner seas they will note that there is no outflowing current.  This is because the map shows only surface currents and not submerged currents. Surface currents are produced by the evaporation of water from dry air moving over the inner seas.  This evaporatiom causes water to flow into the inner seas  from the larger oceans.  While logic would suggest that this would create an extremely salty sea this is not the case.  This is because saltier water is heavier and sinks to the bottom and flows out of the inner sea back into the ocean.  This effect keeps the salinity of the inner seas to near the same as that of the ocean.
