Where are 2 places in Earth that has convention currents?
The mantle and the ocean both have examples of convection currents.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
Describe the “clock” direction of surface currents in the Northern Hemisphere.?
The Coriolis effect shifts surface currents by angles of about 45 degrees. In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents are deflected to the right, in a clockwise motion. In the Southern Hemisphere, ocean currents are pushed to the left, in a counterclockwise motion.
which two statments best describe the effects of ocean currents on weather?
Cold currents remove thermal energy from the air above and warm currents warm the air above Apex
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
What are the effects of ocean currents?
what are the effects of the ocean currents>
What advantages of ocean currents?
advantage of ocean currents
What is the standard 6.5.2?
standard 6.5.2 Recognize and describe that the currents in the air and ocean distribute heat energy
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Are ocean currents predictable?
yes ocean currents are predictable
How are ocean currents measured?
In the unit that they measure ocean currents.
What are the three types of ocean currents?
There are only two type of Ocean Currents: 1. Surface Currents- 10% of the water in the ocean 2. Deep Water Currents- 90% of the water in the ocean
