How does the coriolis effect affect surface currents?
By, instead of a straight current, makes the current curved due to the Coriolis Effect.
What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth's ocean?
I think that the whether that hits the water
The three surface currents of the ocean?
global winds, coriolis effect, and continental deflections
How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
What is the primary mechanism which causes surface currents?
The Coriolis Effect
What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis effect
What currents are influences by the Coriolis effect?
Surface Currents
What effect does the earth's rotation have on surface currents?
It causes them to deviate (different directions north and south of the equator) leading to the Coriolis effect.
How do warm and cold surface currents move?
Coriolis effect
How does earths rotation affects the patterns of surface currents?
It causes the currents to move in curved paths instead of going in a straight line, which is known a the Coriolis effect.
How the earth rotation affects the pattern of surface currents?
It causes the currents to move in curved paths instead of going in a straight line, which is known a the Coriolis effect.
How does the coriolis effect affect surface currents?
By, instead of a straight current, makes the current curved due to the Coriolis Effect.
What effect causes ocean currents to curve to the right or the left?
the answer is Coriolis
What causes gyres?
Gyres are circular movements of ocean currents caused by the Coriolis Effect.
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
