Do warm water surface currents create warm climates in coastal areas?
no
What is target size in biology?
What are deep sea currents that are forced to the surface, bring nutrients and create rich fishing areas
How does currents create a garbage patch in the ocean?
eddy currents
What create ocean currents?
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
How have convection currents changed the surface of the earth?
Convection currents occur in the semi-molten mantle. They are created by heat within the earth. As the mantle heats, the rock rises. When it cools, it sinks back down. This movement causes changes in the surface of the Earth.
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What type of pattern does ocean currents make?
Circular wind patterns create spiral ocean currents called gyres. There are five major gyres flowing both north and south of the equator: the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres.
What do convection currents create over different regions of earth?
Convection currents create rain forests and deserts over different regions of Earth.
How do winds create currents?
Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and currents in the southern hemisphere curve to the left.Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines.
Can the ocean currents create hydro power?
possibly...
Why do persure belt form in the armosphere?
Pressure belts in the atmosphere occur due to large scale verticle movements of air and create the different temperature climates on the surface of the planet.
Where do warm water currents start to form?
They start to form when different leveled currents create pressure and the water quickly jutts so create a type of friction which is heat.
