What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
Do deep ocean currents and surface currents mix?
Deep ocean currents and surface currents do meet, but mixing is limited. The waters stratify based on temperatures and salinity. The higher the salinity, the heavier the water.
When does a deep current form?
Deep currents form when salinity increases.
How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What are three major surface currents?
They are surface currents, deep water currents. One moves water on the surface the other moves deep water.
Deep currents are caused mostly by?
The Coriolis Effect
What are the three factors that from deep currents?
The three factors that help form deep currents are ...density,salinity,and tempature.
What causes deep curents?
Deep currents are caused partially by wind and the Coriolis effect and the other part is caused by the density change in water.
What form deep currents?
i know its the coriolis affect thats all i know
What are the effects of deep currents?
Scientists have determined that the effects of deep currents directly relate to the rainfall on the continent of Africa. This also directly relates to climate changes throughout the rest of the world.
What effects do deeps currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
Why do most deep currents form near the poles?
Deep currents form around wind patterns. These wind patterns particularly affect deep currents near shorelines of major lands or continents.
What effects do currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
How do surface currents develop?
Deep ocean currents are caused by 3 things:change in temperaturechange in salinity by evaporationchange in salinity by freezingBecause colder water and saltier water are more dense, they sink, and the motion causes deep currents.
Are thermohaline currents surface or deep water currents?
deepwater currents
Are deep currents controlled by are deep currents controlled by wind?
NO
What is difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.
