Which way do currents move in the northern hemisphere southern hemisphere?
Currents in the Northern Hemisphere move in a clockwise direction. Currents in the Southern Hemisphere move in a counter clockwise direction.
Does surface currents move counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere?
yes
What direction do the ocean currents move in the northern hemisphere?
clockwise
What directions do ocean currents move?
currents rise and then go down ,which it in cycle to add on to the above; the currents move clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere
What direction do surface currents move?
The surface currents move in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere, and move in a counter clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere! Hope it helped:)
Do surface currents move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?
no to the right
Are surface currents caused by wind?
yes surface currents are currently caused by wind! because the global winds move the water, in the northern hemisphere, the winds moves clock wise, and in the southern hemisphere the winds move counter clock wise. and moves the water 400 meters under the water.
Which of the following statements IS NOT true concerning ocean currents?
The gyres move counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere
Why do large land areas cause surface currents to change direction?
because the surface currents move in huge circles ,they move clockwise in the northern hemisphere
Which way do currents rotate in the southern hemisphere?
The gyres rotate counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
What direction do the ocean currents move in the southern hemisphere?
In the southern hemisphere, ocean currents generally move clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is the result of Earth's rotation. This means that currents tend to move to the left in the southern hemisphere. However, specific ocean currents may have variations in their flow direction based on local topography and wind patterns.
How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
