What else can I help you with?
Why are currents formed?
Gravity for two reasons * The water moves from a higher region to a lower one (mostly for rivers) * The moons gravity causes high a low tide, this pull the water up then drop it causing the water to stir around in currents (this is mostly for oceans)
What kind of water movements are caused by the Moon's gravity?
tidal currents
What is the relationship between the tide and the moon?
the gravity of the moon greatly affects the tides.
What if there were no water currents?
Then we would be in big trouble, because that would mean that there is no gravity.
What causes density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
What is an important result of currents prevention of what?
Currents on the Earth are put into motion by the pull of the moon and gravity. Currents are important because they help to circulate the water in the oceans and seas.
How the waves are made?
The moons gravity pulls the water and makes high tide and low tide
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
What type of currents are caused by the moon's gravity?
Tidal currents are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon on Earth's oceans. These currents result in the rising and falling of ocean water levels, creating high and low tides along coastlines.
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
What moves water besides currents and electric charge?
gravity, water pressure, air pressure, buckets, etc.
What is cold-water currents and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
