Streamlike movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
What passage did Ponce De Leon take?
On his voyage to Florida, he encountered the Gulf Stream which flows from the Gulf of Mexico into the Atlantic Ocean. The passage is known as the Florida Straits.
What is the best known warm water current?
The Gulf Stream is the best known warm water current. It flows along the eastern coast of the United States and across the Atlantic Ocean to Western Europe, playing a key role in regulating the climate in these regions.
What is the name of a river or stream that flows into a large river?
A Tributary
What sea or ocean does the river Zaire flow into?
The Zaire River or River Congo flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
A stream which flows into a river?
river
What is the lowest elevation to which a stream can downcut?
The lowest elevation to which a stream can downcut is known as the base level, which is typically defined by the level of the body of water into which the stream flows, such as a lake or the ocean. If the stream enters a lake, the lake level serves as the base level, while for rivers flowing into the ocean, sea level acts as the base level. Streams can downcut to this level but cannot erode below it. Changes in base level, such as tectonic uplift or sea level fluctuations, can affect a stream's erosion potential.
What is the Gulf Stream and where is it located?
A current in the Atlantic Ocean that brings water from the equator to the Artic Circle. It flows out of the Gulf of Mexico (hence its name), follows the east coast of the US, then turns northeast across the North Atlantic. It forms the North Atlantic Drift north of the Azores and continues to Europe.
Which ocean does the Congo river flow into?
The Congo river, now known as the Zaire River, flows into the Atlantic Ocean.
A streamlike movement of ocean water far below the surface?
Deep currents are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. Deep currents occur when the cold, dense water from the poles sinks below warmer, less sense ocean water and flows towards the equator.
Is there a jet stream in the southern hemisphere?
Yes, there is a jet stream in the Southern Hemisphere known as the Southern Hemisphere Polar Jet Stream. It flows from west to east and its strength and position vary throughout the year.
What is the name of the ocean current off of the Virginia coast?
The ocean current off the Virginia coast is known as the Gulf Stream. This warm ocean current originates in the Gulf of Mexico and flows northward along the eastern coastline of the United States, including Virginia. It plays a significant role in regulating the regional climate and influencing weather patterns.
