How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
What is the difference between ocean current and rip current?
Ocean currents are currents that move across the globe from one temperature zone to another. Rip currents are localized currents caused by a combination of tides and waves agains the shore line where the water is shallow.
What caused Vikings to turn Christian?
Mostly from pressure from their kings.
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
How do ocean currents develop?
An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of ocean water generated by the forces acting upon the water, such as the wind, Coriolis force, temperature and differences and salinity tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. Depth contours, shorelines configurations and interaction with other currents influence a current's direction and strength.
Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?
All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
What are deep currents caused by?
water density
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
What currents caused by temperature and density differences?
deep
Currents are caused by temperature and density differences?
deep
What are deep ocean currents are caused?
water density
What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

What are deep-ocean currents caused by?
under water tornados
How are surface and deep currents caused?
Moves by the gravity of the moon.
What are surface currents caused by?
prevailing winds
What are deep-water currents caused by cold water sinking and pushing up warmer water?
density currents.
