The air of a region where the temperature is higher is warmer than the air of a region where the temperature is lower. As a result, the air will flow from the warmer region to the cooler region. This generates air currents.

Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?
All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
Which of these factors has the greatest influence on the temperature of an area?
The things that affect climate are global winds, ocean currents, distance to water, topography, latitude, and elevation.
Some scientists theorize that continental movements may cause climate changes by?
Ok, so the movement of the continents changed location of land and sea, therefore changing the wind patterns and ocean currents, slowly changing climate globally. Also, as the continents continue to move, climates will also continue to change.
How warm water currents affect climate?
Ocean currents distribute heat around, maintaining a habitable temperature range over most of the Earth's Surface. Warm water is essential for cloud formation, as it evaporates faster than cold water. This is essential to maintain the Water Cycle.
Are wind-driven currents near the surface or in the deep waters?
Vertically
What is currents influenced by?
currents affect the climate.
What are the factor that affect the climate of a place?
ocean currents
How do ocean currents affect coastal climate temperature?
no
What are the factors that affect the climate of a place?
ocean currents
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
What is cold-water currents and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
What factors most strongly affect a regions climate?
Latitude, winds, and currents strongly affect a region's climate
How does the kuroshio current affect japans climate?
Ocean currents greatly affect the climate of Japan. Summer months are hot and wet due to currents that blow from the Pacific Ocean. These currents are also responsible for frequent typhoons.
What is current and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
How water currents affect climate?
The warm water currents in the ocean make the atmosphere warmer hence the climate of those regions become warmer.
What characteristics of deep ocean currents affect their motion?
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
How does altitude distance from the ocean amount of sunlight distance from the equator and ocean currents affect this climate?
What climate? -_-
