What else can I help you with?
Compare and contrast surface and density currents?
Density currents are slower than surface currents b/c surface currents are powered by the wind.
Why does ice float on the surface of water-?
Ice floats on water because it has a lower density than water. It flows on water when either it is blown by the wind or it is moved by water currents.
Why do currents flow faster at the equator than at the polls?
Because the water is warmer at the equator than at the pole. The warmer ocean water is the faster the currents move and the colder the water is the slow the currents move.
How does temperature and density have an effect on convection currents in the ocean?
The ocean has more density than the land. So therefore it takes more energy from the sun to warm up the ocean than the land. The land heats faster and cools of faster. It takes less energy to warm up the land than the ocean. This is why sea and land breezes occur.
Do sand fragments settle faster than pebbles do?
no
Why does a coin fall faster than paper?
A coin falls faster than paper due to differences in density and aerodynamics. Coins are denser and have less surface area compared to paper, allowing them to overcome air resistance more easily and accelerate faster towards the ground.
How does the density of water affect deep currents?
im thinking that the ocean water would be more heavy than the ocean currents
Will a marble sink faster in oil or water?
A marble will sink faster in water than in oil because water has a higher density than oil. The higher the density of the liquid, the faster an object will sink in it.
Which will cool faster a rock cooled underground or on the surface?
A rock at the surface will cool faster than a rock underground.
Do a black surface cool faster than shiny surface?
No, a black surface will absorb more heat from its surroundings and radiate it back out more slowly compared to a shiny surface. This means that a shiny surface will typically cool faster than a black surface.
Why does a penny sink faster in water than soap?
The density of a penny is higher.
Is surface wave faster then a p wave?
no a p wave is faster than s wave
