What cause currents to flow between the poles of the equator?
warm-water
Do currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
Do currents flow faster at the pole or at the equator?
At the poles.
Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
At the poles because the water is colder and less dense............
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.
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 is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
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.
What causes currents I flow between the poles and the equator?
Uneven solar heating
A warm ocean current affecting England's climate?
Currents that originate near the equator are going to be warm water currents, and currents that form near the poles will be cold water currents. It is the temperature of the waters in these currents that influence the climates of the land masses by or around which they flow.
Compare the directions in which surface currents flow near the poles and near the equator?
