What enhances the growth rate of precipitation?
Upward currents
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
Which is a cause of density currents?
- evaporation - particles mixing with water - freezing
Where in the oceans are highest values of salinity found?
Shallow areas with low or no currents and high evaporation.
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?
All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
What enhances the growth rate of precipitation?
Upward currents
Why evaporation of water is faster in outside the house?
Outside the house generally the air currents favors evaporation.
How do oceans affect precipitation?
colder ocean currents prevent clouds from forming, and there is less precipitation. warmer currents bring in humidity and more rain. an example would be Florida and Cali.

What things cause ocean currents?
Ocean currents result from two processes - the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement- a process known as convection. Convection occurs because the oceanic waters heat up becoming less dense. Winds have the most important influence on the flow of currents, but tides, precipitation, evaporation rates, shape of the ocean floor, and inflow from rivers and adjacent seas are also important.
How does the water cycle begin?
evaporation( on the basic three step water cycle followed by condensation, and precipitation)
Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
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.
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
What conditions influence temperature and precipitation?
There are several conditions that influence temperature and precipitation. Landforms, ocean currents, winds, latitude areas, and many other things can affect temperature and precipitation.
Currents are caused by temperature and density differences?
deep
