The rotation of the Earth, coupled with the difference in temperature between the air and water, creates currents. Warm air and sea tend to flow towards the poles where the cooled air then flows back towards the equator. Land obstructions cause the currents to alter their course. The air is faster to warm up and cool down than the oceans, with surface water being affected more quickly than the deeper water.
yes, because when the ocean currents shift, the temperature do to. that temp change occurs in the air above the water, too, resulting in a change in global winds!
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
no
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Ocean currents form
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
Global winds drag on the ocean's surface causing it to move and build up in the direction the wind is blowing.
Global Winds, EarthΒ΄s Rotation, and Water Temperature
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
They both have covection currents and effect the weather
it would be more hot and the ocean would be warmer or coller
Global winds, insolation, large bodies of water and ocean currents.
NO. :)
