Salinity and temperature
Salinity and temperature
Deep currents form where the density of ocean water increase so, water density depends on temperature and salinity. I hope I helped you =)
im thinking that the ocean water would be more heavy than the ocean currents
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.
Density currents circulate water because of density defferences.
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
Temperature, salinity and total saturation of other minerals, depth.
Currents in the coastal water masses
why do density currents hapen?
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the 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.
