Is Paris France affected by ocean currents?
The influence of the ocean (notably the Gulf Stream) allows French climate to be somewhat mild during winter and that influence can still be felt in Paris, which is only 200 km East of the English Channel and 450 from the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise Ocean currents have no effects on the Seine river going through Paris.
What are the three types of ocean currents?
There are only two type of Ocean Currents: 1. Surface Currents- 10% of the water in the ocean 2. Deep Water Currents- 90% of the water in the ocean
Can ocean currents travel over land?
Only when the oceans flood the land.
Ocean currents follow regular patterns related to?
the only right answer is latitude
What are the various factors responsible for ocean currents?
I only know one factor, the MOON
What is the reason why coral reefs can only be found on the southern coast of the us?
Due to ocean currents
How do deep currents move in an ocean?
The ocean currents known since antiquity are called surface currents. Though these are invaluable to shipping, they are superficial and occupy only a small fraction of the ocean's waters. The majority of the ocean's currents take the form of a temperature- and salinity-driven "conveyor belt" that slowly churns water within the abyssal depths. These loops of water circulation are called deep currents.
What is the primary source of energy for ocean currents and waves?
Ocean currents at the SURFACE -- their primary cause is SOLAR ENERGY. Due to solar energy, much of the wind pattern originates and this wind pattern in turn causes ocean currents on the surface.
How do ocean currents influence the climate of a place?
Ocean currents carry warmer water from the tropics into colder regions. The heat from that warmer water escapes into the atmosphere as it travels, creating warmer, rainier weather than might otherwise be expected. Upwellings along the California coast bring cold water up from the bottom of the ocean. This is why beaches along the continental pacific coast never really have warm water (compared to the Atlantic coast) even in summer. Winds carry this ambient temperature onto land which is why the coast of California remains in a range between about 50-75 degrees all year long. Climates that rely on ocean temperatures in coastal regions are considered "Maritime" climates. The Sierra mountains inland force air up the mountain slope, which results in precipitation and rain shadow on the leeward side of the range. The climate in this area is very hot and dry, resulting in the deserts in the western US. This is considered a "Continental" climate because it is not really affected by the ocean temperature. Continental climates typically have much more drastic temperature changes not only in different seasons, but also diurnally (daily). Winds are the result of air moving from different areas of high and low pressure. The larger the different in pressure, the stronger the winds become. Winds and ocean currents are responsible for distributing warmer temperatures from the equator to the rest of the world.
Ocean and wind currents are both caused by?
uneven insolation
How do you get to pacifidlog from slateport?
You can't, the currents in the ocean prevents the pathway from Slateprort of Pacificlog. The only way to get to Pacificlog is to Surf from the Mossdeep City, Sootoplois City, or Evergrande City.
How do waves amd currents change the shore?
Currents also change a shore.If you've ever been swimming in the ocean,you may have noticed that when you came out of the water,you had too walk up and along the beach to the place where you left your towel..5th gradee answer only!
