What factor causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different locations?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
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
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 general motion of surface currents in south of the equator?
counter clockwise
Compare the directions in which surface currents flow near the poles and near the equator?
Sixth grade work..... SMH
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 type of currents carry cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
Surface currents
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
What is the general motion of surface currents south of the equator?
Counter clockwise
What direction do most of the surface currents north of the equator move?
The current north of the equator moves clockwise.

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 cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
What are surface curents?
ocean currents that lead away from the equator. Examples: Gulf Stream and Brazil Current
What is the general motion of surface currents in south of the equator?
counter clockwise
Do surface currents greatly affect the climate in many parts of the world?
yes...or true
