How do deep currents move in an ocean?
The ocean currents known since antiquity are called surface currents. Though these are invaluable to shipping, they are superficial and occupy only a small fraction of the ocean's waters. The majority of the ocean's currents take the form of a temperature- and salinity-driven "conveyor belt" that slowly churns water within the abyssal depths. These loops of water circulation are called deep currents.
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.
How deep currents from and move in the ocean?
Deep currents form by the differences in the density of the ocean water. Deep currents move by carrying cold water from the poles towards the equators. They flow really slowly. They may take as long as 1,000 years to flow from the pole to the equator and back again.
How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
What directions do ocean currents move?
currents rise and then go down ,which it in cycle to add on to the above; the currents move clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere

What do you call the circulation in ocean that brings deep cold water to the surface?
Ocean convection currents move the deep cold water to the surface of oceans.

Where do global winds move cold air?
Ocean currents form
What are the deep ocean currents?
These currents make up 90% of the ocean waters.These waters move around the ocean basins due to variations in the density and gravity.Deep waters sinks into the deep ocean basins at high latitudes , where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase.

What are streams of water in the ocean that move in a pattern?
Ocean currents.
Why do whales follow ocean currents?
its easy for them to move
Is it true that ocean currents that move up and down are called surface currents?
Yes
How does ocean water circulate?
Currents move the ocean water, therefore circulating it!
How do shark rays move?
shark rays move with all the currents of the ocean.
Waters of the ocean that move in giant streams are called?
waters of the ocean that move in giant streams are called currents.
