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 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 is the definition to surface currents?
surface currents are horizontal, steamlike movements of water that are found at or near the surface of the ocean
Ocean currents flow from east to west near the?
Equator due to the trade winds pushing the surface waters westward. This creates the Equatorial Counter Current, which flows eastward at the surface.
What flow near the bottom of the ocean and sometimes flow on top of other currents?
Turbidity Current.
What are stream like movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean?
Surface currents
Are wind-driven currents found near the surface of the ocean or in the deep waters of oceans?
surface
What are streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean called?
currents
Compare the directions in which surface currents flow near the poles and near the equator?
Sixth grade work..... SMH
Streamlike movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
Ocean currents flow from east to west near what?
Ocean currents flow from east to west near the sub-equatorial area. These winds are called "trade winds" and they start in Portugal, they move to the Canary Islands, to the Cape Verde and then to the West part of the Caribbean.
Stream like movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water at tor near the surface of the ocean are called currents. A current's direction and strength is influenced by depth contours, shoreline configurations and interaction with other currents.
