Surface ocean currents are mainly wind-driven and occur in all of the world's oceans. Examples of large surface currents that move across vast expanses of ocean are the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current, the California Current, the Atlantic South Equatorial Current, and the Westwind Drift. --- Vertical and ocean-bottom currents are mainly driven by density differences caused by changes in temperature and salinity.
What else can I help you with?
What currents are currents caused by temperature?
wind
Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?
All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
What are some ways that ocean currents and wind are similar?
They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.
Where is dophins habitats?
mainley at the occen they do also live in the sea mainley in the deep areas they are often found in the medration and carrbian areas
What are the causes of currents?
its caused by the moon
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
What type of currents are caused by the moon's gravity?
Tidal currents are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans. These currents result in the rising and falling of ocean water levels, creating high and low tides along coastlines.
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
Thermohaline currents, also known as ocean circulation currents, are caused by temperature and salinity differences in the water. These currents play a crucial role in distributing heat around the globe and influence climate patterns.
What are deep currents caused by?
water density
What are tide currents?
Tidal currents are not quite the same thing as tides. Tidal currents are horizontal movements of water caused by the tides.
How are currents caused?
It is caused by the wind or the cold of the water surrounding it.It is also caused by salinity (saltiness).
What were Squanto's hobbies?
He mainley liked to hunt and explore!
