What current are a result of the movement of the sun and moon?
tidal currents
What current are a result of the movement of the Sun and the moon?
tidal currents
How does a continent affect the movement of a surface current?
When surface currents meet continents the current changes directions.
What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
What is the ekman current?
Eckman currents are currents created by Eckman spiral which affects the currents' directions and velocities from the surface downward. The wind drives the water movement on the surface at 45 degree to the movement of the wind. Under Coriolis effect (effect caused by the earth rotation around its axis) the water moves to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left on the southern hemisphere. The deeper layer movement is affected by the layer right above it and moves slower. The net of water movement is 90 degree of the wind movement.

Is a current the movement of water in the sea?
Yes, currents are caused by the movements of water in the sea.
What are the two types of ocean currents?
deep currents streamlike movement of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. surface current can influence the climate of land are they flow past.
What are the covention currents?
convention current is heats by the mass movement of heat particles into an area of cooler fluid.
A streamlike movement of ocean water located far below the surface?
Deep currents
What is continental deflection?
Continental deflection is when a continent deflects the movement of a current. This makes the currents of the ocean have a certain shape.
What is an explanation of the process of convection current movement?
Heat rises...cold decends. As each moves it creates currents.
How do you harvest energy from ocean currents?
One way is to use the movement of the current to turn a turbine and generate electricity
