Salinity and temperature


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 =)


How does the density of water affect deep currents?

im thinking that the ocean water would be more heavy than the ocean currents


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 does density currents circaulate water?

Density currents circulate water because of density defferences.


Are density currents faster than surface currents?

no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)


What factors affect density currents?

Temperature, salinity and total saturation of other minerals, depth.


What is a density currents?

Currents in the coastal water masses


Why do density current happens?

why do density currents hapen?


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.

What directly influences deepwater currents?

Deepwater currents are influenced by temperature differences, salinity levels, and the Earth's rotation. These factors affect the density of seawater, which in turn drives the movement of deepwater currents. Additionally, topography, such as underwater mountains and ridges, can also direct the flow of deepwater currents.
