What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?

Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.

How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?

The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.


How do the mantle's convection currents move to form a mid-ocean ridge?

The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.


What kinds of ocean currents might cause seafloor spreading?

Ocean currents have no effect whatsoever. Seafloor spreading is caused by convection currents in the rock of the earth's mantle.


How do currents heat in the ocean?

the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
