∙ 9y agoThe study of the oceans is important because humans, as well as plants and animals, depend on the oceans for so much. In fact, we couldn't survive without them. They are our source of water, food as well many Natural Resources.

What drives ocean currents?
wind
Upwelling and downwelling?
Upwelling is caused by currents on the surface. When water moves from the bottom of the ocean towards the surface it is called upwelling. Downwelling is when more dense water sinks. This process moves nutrients back to the deep part of the ocean.
Why do most deep currents form near the poles?
Deep currents form around wind patterns. These wind patterns particularly affect deep currents near shorelines of major lands or continents.
How is the absorption of heat is important to aqauatic organisms?
It is important for organisms that live in the deep ocean to absorb heat, since it is very cold in that region of the ocean. Without the heat, they would die. Some organisms absorb heat from ocean vents, which provide a large amount of heat.
Are dolphins nekton?
Nekton are animals that move or swim freely in the ocean. They can live in shallow or deep water and are all shapes and sizes. Dolphins are part of the chordates group of nekton.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
What is 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.

Deep ocean currents are created by cold water rising sinking or staying the same?
deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night.
What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
What is the depth of surface currents?
deep in the ocean
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
What characteristics of deep ocean currents affect their motion?
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
Where in the ocean do deep currents flow?
In the ocean floor.
How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
