Compared with surface currents deep currents are?
Colder && Denser.
What do the ocean currents transport?
Ocean currents will carry anything from small plankton accross ocean to helping other marine life find warmer or colder waters. to ocean currents can also help guide ships across bodies of water. the ocean currents will also redistribute the density in the ocean water.
How does Peru's elevation affect it's temperature and surface currents?
The higher up in elevation a place is, the colder it will be. As for surface currents, I have no clue.
How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
Which is colder - Vancouver or Montreal?
Montreal has colder winters Vancouver has colder summers
Why do currents flow faster at the equator than at the polls?
Because the water is warmer at the equator than at the pole. The warmer ocean water is the faster the currents move and the colder the water is the slow the currents move.
Are cold or warm ocean currents deeper?
colder seas have weaker currentswarmer seas are stronger
How do you describe convention currents by the ocean?
changing in heat in the ocean colder sinks warmer floats
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 is created when colder air sinks below warmer air and pushes warmer air upward?
Air Currents
What will happen to the ocean currents as a result of global warming?
The warming of the planet may change the paths and movements of the ocean currents. If the Gulf Stream, for example, stops, then Britain will become much colder.
How do ocean currents affect temperature?
ocean currents may be considerably warmer or colder than the normal surface air temperatures. their effect is greatest when the prevailing winds blow from the water to the land.
