What is continental deflection?
Continental deflection is when a continent deflects the movement of a current. This makes the currents of the ocean have a certain shape.
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
What factors affect currents?
Global Winds Coriolis EffectContinental Deflection
What are three factors that controles surface currents?
global winds, Coriolis effect, and continental deflection
What factors set surface ocean currents into motions?
Factors that set surface ocean currents into motions are the global circulation cells (Hadley, Ferrel, Polar), the Coriolis effect, and the continental deflection.
Why don't the earth's surface currents travel freely across the globe in a uniform pattern?
The landmasses cause the water to turn. This is called Continental Deflection.
What are 3 things that affect surface ocean currents?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
How did continental drift affect temperature and precipitation patterns around the planet?
Continental drift affect temperature and precipitation patterns around the planet by changing ocean currents
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What are the three factors that affect the ocean?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What creates a continental rise?
Turbidity currents create continental rises.
How do currents affect?
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
