Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from 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.
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
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
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Do convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator?
Yes, convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator.
Why ocean currents that originate near equator is warm?
As the equator is warm, the currents that originate from there are also warm.
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.
Do convection currents connects the poles all the way to the equator?
Yes, convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator.
Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
In what direction do cold currents generally flow in the northern hemisphere?
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
Why do currents flow faster at the equator than at the polls?
Because the water is warmer at the equator than at the pole. The warmer ocean water is the faster the currents move and the colder the water is the slow the currents move.
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 type of currents carry cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
Surface currents
