This cycling of ocean water along currents is an example of?
is convection
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
Deep currents flow along the?
Ocean floor.
In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
What are the two types of ocean currents?
deep currents streamlike movement of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. surface current can influence the climate of land are they flow past.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
How do differences indensity cause currents to flow both in the surface waters of the ocean and in the bottom waters of the ocean?
As water is on top of the ocean, wind pushes it along, creating a current. As it warms, it interacts with lower colder waters, pulling them along with it. As water cools, it rises and this interaction creates ocean currents.
How does the shape of the continent affect ocean currents?
The shape of a continent can influence ocean currents by directing their flow. For example, a narrow passage between two landmasses can funnel and accelerate ocean currents, while a broad continental shelf can slow down and disperse currents. Additionally, the presence of peninsulas, bays, and capes can create eddies and turbulence in ocean currents.
Where are deltas formed and why are they formed there?
Where a river which transmits a great deal of material arrives at the sea and there is little tidal range a delta will form. Example the Nile into the Mediterranean or the Mississippi into the Gulf of Mexico. The Amazon & the Congo, which flow into an Ocean, the Atlantic in these examples, do not form deltas because the ocean currents distribute the outflow of material into & along the ocean currents.
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
