How does temperature and density have an effect on convection currents in the ocean?

The ocean has more density than the land. So therefore it takes more energy from the sun to warm up the ocean than the land. The land heats faster and cools of faster. It takes less energy to warm up the land than the ocean. This is why sea and land breezes occur.

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.
Describe the effect of temperature on density currents?
when a substance is cooler at the surface, the density increases in the substance.
The effect of the Earth's rotation on convection currents is called the?
c effect
What effect do convection currents have on the earth?
They have big weeners
How does the calinity of water effect temperature and water currents?
Salinity, or saltiness, affects how readily the water changes temperatures as well as its density. Because of this, currents in the water can arise not only from the difference in temperature, but also from the density difference, which comes from the salinity itself.
What creates the currents in the mantle of the earth?
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
How do convection currents in the mantle effect lithosphere movement?
Convection currents rotate in the Lithosphere, which causes the surface of the Earth to move.
What would a change in the earths core have an effect on?
convection currents in the mantle
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
A change in the core would have the greatest effect on which of the following?
Convection currents in the mantle
What would be the greatest effect if there was a change in the Earth's core?
convection currents in the mantle.
What do surface currents effect?
For Apex A- The rotation of Earth on its Axis C - The differences in water density D- The temperature of Ocean Water
