What are the major differences between eastern boundary currents in the gyres and the western boundary currents in gyres?
Eastern boundary currents are relatively shallow, broad, and slow-flowing. Western boundary currents are warm, deep, narrow, and fast-flowing currents that form on the west side of ocean basins due to western intensification.

Can whirlpools go through shallow water?
no. a whirlpool is made up of currents and when a vortex (whirlpool's scientific name) reaches shallow water the currents will then release breaking down the vortex.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
Where in the oceans are highest values of salinity found?
Shallow areas with low or no currents and high evaporation.
What is the difference between ocean current and rip current?
Ocean currents are currents that move across the globe from one temperature zone to another. Rip currents are localized currents caused by a combination of tides and waves agains the shore line where the water is shallow.
How do suface currents form?
Suface currents form from the wind. The wind can make the surface cold or warm.
Can tsunamis form in shallow water?
no.
What is comparative form of shallow?
shallower
What part of speech is currents?
Currents is a noun. It's the plural form of current.
