How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What do hot spots and mid ocean ridges have in common?
rising magma moves due to density differences
Is it true that wind are examples of convection currents?
Not conduction, but convection currents, are what drive winds and many ocean currents.
What information is used to calculate the density of ocean water?
Density is calculated from the temperature and salinity of the water.
The density of the ocean water increases when it?
gets colder
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
What drives current deep in the ocean?
C- DIFFERENCES IN WATER DENSITY
What two forces primarily drive the ocean currents?
From apex: Density Differences in water and Energy transfer from winds. Hope it's the same for you
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What part of the earth in motion due to density?
The ocean currents move because of different densities caused by ocean temperatures and salinity.
What are deep ocean currents caused by?
global winds and differences in temperature and salinity.
Why are the earth's winds and ocean currents important to life on the planet?
There are many different forces that create ocean currents. Among them are: the earth's rotation, salinity differences, wind, density differences, and buoyant forces. Temperature differences can create some of these differences, but we would have ocean currents even if the oceans were a uniform temperature.

What causes differences in density of ocean water?
the presence of minerals such as sodium cholride,magnesium etc causes the difference in ocean water ....
