gravity on masses of seawater that are denser than surrrounding water causeing the denser water to sink .density currents slowly circulate deep ocean water.cool current from the western coast originate far from the equator , warm currents along eastern coast begin near the equator ,differences in temperature an salinity between water masses in the ocean setup circulate called density currents
What else can I help you with?
How does density currents circaulate water?
Density currents circulate water because of density defferences.
What is a density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
What are deep currents caused by?
water density
What are deep-water currents caused by cold water sinking and pushing up warmer water?
density currents.
What is the role of density in turbidity currents?
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
What causes density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
What are deep ocean currents are caused?
water density
Is temperature salinity and density are factors in the formation of?
Yes, temperature, salinity, and density are all factors in the formation of ocean currents. These factors affect the movement of water masses, which can create differences in water density and drive the circulation of ocean currents. Changes in temperature and salinity can impact the density of water, influencing the speed and direction of currents.
How do surface currents differ from density currents?
The same thing! Deep Currents Occur when the density of the water increases. Density is based on two main things it is the civility is how much salt and other solids are in it and it is also the temperature of the water.The lower the temperature the lower the dense the water becomes. The denser the water the more it was to go down. The less dense the water wants to rise. The temperature is what causes the dense. Deep current:A streamline movement of ocean water far below the surface.
How does the temperature affect the formation of deep currents?
Deep currents form where the density of ocean water increase so, water density depends on temperature and salinity. I hope I helped you =)
Which is a cause of density currents?
Density currents are caused by differences in water density. This can be due to variations in temperature, salinity, or both. When denser water sinks and interacts with lighter water, it creates a current that moves along the density gradient.
How does the density of ocean water drive the movement of deep ocean currents?
By forcing currents to go over or under other currents depending on the density of the current
