In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
How heat transfer between the equator and poles?
This is caused by convection, in which warm, less-dense air rises, and flows toward the poles until it cools and sinks again.
How does the unequal heating of Earth's surface affect the ocean currents?
It affects ocean currents because the sun hits the equator directly unlike towards the poles where they get less sun because they are farther away.
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
What carries water toward the poles?
Ocean currents.
What type of currents carry cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
Surface currents
What direction do surface currents near the equator?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
What carries warm waters toward the poles?
Ocean currents.
Ocean currents that move toward the poles are?
warm
Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
How do ocean currents get warm or cold?
if its by the equator or the two poles, its gonna be cold water currents. hope this helps :)
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
How do the waters of the earths ocean help distribute heat from one place to another?
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.
