Why does ocean water not go down a well in dug in the ocean?
good question! turns out, water pressure is actually too strong for most of cold new water to get Dow to the bottom!
Will global warming cause oceans to shut down?
Some ocean currents may be affected by the sudden inrush of millions of cubic miles of cold fresh water from melting glaciers and ice caps. In general, ocean circulation models would not "shut down" due to an influx of cold fresh water.
Why can Jellyfish live in the ocean?
Jellyfish like the tropics and cold water. They live at the seashore because of the ocean temperature in the water.
Which two oceans border South Africa?
South Africa is situated between the warm Indian Ocean (East & South coast) and the cold South Atlantic Ocean (West coast). The Indian Ocean brings warm water down the east coast from the equator, while the South Atlantic Ocean brings cold water up the west coast (from the Antarctic). The currents converge off the southernmost point of Africa near Cape Aghulas.
How can hot water can be a cold one?
If you let hot water cool down, it will become cold water.
What is a process in which cold nutrientrich water from the deep ocean rises to the surface and replaces warm surface water?
Nothing very exciting happens because as the cold water would rise it would push the warm water down. This would cause the cold water to heat up and the warm water to cool off. This creates a cycle of cooling and warming.
What is a water current?
A water current is moving water flowing through an ocean like a river.
In what direction does water moves?
the cold water moves down.
Why the sand on the beach cools down faster than the ocean water?
Sand does not retain heat as easily as water. Therefore, sand cools down faster than the ocean water.
Where water goes after the shower?
down the drain and into the ocean
Why is the Pacific Ocean so cold?
Who knows? I guess it is quite a mixed temperature, but I'm annoyed as I've spent hours searching for many answers and I'm stuck! I don't own any geography related books!If you know please help me!
How does the global conveyor belt form?
The global conveyor belt is formed by a combination of surface and deep-ocean currents. It starts with cold, dense water sinking near the poles, which then flows along the ocean bottom towards the equator. This deep water eventually rises back to the surface in regions such as the North Atlantic, creating a continuous loop of circulation.
