How can ocean current affect the temperature and the amount of moisture of the air mass above the current and above nearby coastlines?
Warm currents bring warm temperatures to the poles, and cold currents bring cold temperatures to the equator to become warm again. Once warm, they return to the poles again. This process repeats in some currents forever. Most currents are circular.
Where does the water go after it get to the equator?
If you look at a map of ocean currents, you'll note that water does not remain in one place. That is, it doesn't go to the equator and remain there. Ocean surface currents tend to swirl, so upon reaching the equator, the currents will bring the waters in a full circle and repeat the process. Additionally, water has a tendency to evaporate, even frozen water--ask the Inuit what a Chinook is (hint: it isn't a fish, or a large, flying brick the US Army uses for troop and equipment transport). Also, ocean currents move in many different directions, the ocean being a three dimensional space, some of the water moves to different levels.
What are effects of connection currents in the mantle?
The flow of mantle effects convection currents in the mantle. This process happens as hot material within the mantle begins to rise. As it rises, it begins to cool and then sinks. This process repeats as a cycle of convection currents.
What process allows the plates to move?
convection currents and heat transfer
Electronics uses electric currents to control communicate and process?
information
How do surface currents transfer energy?
by convection

What is the process of heat transferred in the troposphere called?
convection currents
What is the name of the process that causes mantle movement?
convection currents
Which natural process is the main cause of ocean currents?
convection
How is destiny involved in the process of convection?
It's the change (decrease) in density with heating that produces the currents that we refer to as convection currents.
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
What process allows the plates to move?
convection currents and heat transfer
Electronics uses electric currents to control communicate and process?

Can you mix red currents and black currents in jam?
You can mix anything you want in a jam. As long as it has been properly cooked in a jam process.
