What are the major differences between eastern boundary currents in gyres and western boundary currents in gyres?
Eastern boundary currents are relatively shallow, broad, and slow-flowing. Western boundary currents are warm, deep, narrow, and fast-flowing currents that form on the west side of ocean basins due to western intensification.
What is one convection cell that forms because of the coriolis effect?
The Coriolis Effect is the phenomenon that effects global winds. A convection cell is a form of wind and this is the first part of the coriolis effect.
Explain why Geostrophic wind is not possible at the equator?
The geostrophic wind balance is not possible because the Coriolis force vanishes at the Equator.
What Causes weather to be turned westward form original path due to earths rotation?
corolis effect...or..coriolis effect...something with those letters...
Why are cyclones formed on the equator?
Cyclones don't form at the equator. The Coriolis effect is a key element in the formation of cyclones. Its influence is negligible at the equator.
How do gyres form?
The Coriolis effect.
What is difference similiarity currents and gyres?
similarity is currents form gyres. difference is currents are any movement of water in one specific direction and gyres are circular patterns of water
How are surface currents form?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
Why do gyres flow in giant circular patterns?
its because currents form gyres and the wind is so much that it found a circular patterns
What are the three factors that from deep currents?
The three factors that help form deep currents are ...density,salinity,and tempature.
How surface currents formed?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
Why do gyres flow in giant circular patterns instead of straight lines?
its because currents form gyres and the wind is so much that it found a circular patterns
What are the major differences between eastern boundary currents in the gyres and the western boundary currents in gyres?
Eastern boundary currents are relatively shallow, broad, and slow-flowing. Western boundary currents are warm, deep, narrow, and fast-flowing currents that form on the west side of ocean basins due to western intensification.

What form deep currents?
i know its the coriolis affect thats all i know
Which earth system does the ocean interact with to form surface currents?
Surface currents are caused by the friction of wind on the water. The currents are also affected by the Coriolis Effect, which is the apparent deflection of objects moving in a straight path relative to the earth's surface.
