The three surface currents of the ocean?
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
How does the coriolis effect affect surface currents?
By, instead of a straight current, makes the current curved due to the Coriolis Effect.
The Coriolis effect causes surface ocean currents to?
bend and curve
The earth's rotation influences currents by a force known as what?
Coriolis effect
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control?
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control surface currents.
The three surface currents of the ocean?
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
What are the 3 factors of surface currents?
continental deflections,global winds, coriolis effect
What are three ways ocean currents are formed?
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What are the three factors that affect the ocean?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
How are surface currents form?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
How surface currents formed?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
What are the three factors that influence the direction of winds and surface currents?
Glocal winds: they occur when different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. The coriolis effect: The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth's rotation. Continental deflections: When surface currents meet continents, the currents deflect, or change direction.
What are three factors that controles surface currents?
global winds, Coriolis effect, and continental deflection
How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
