Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
Some scientists theorize that continental movements may cause climate changes by?
Ok, so the movement of the continents changed location of land and sea, therefore changing the wind patterns and ocean currents, slowly changing climate globally. Also, as the continents continue to move, climates will also continue to change.
Are wind-driven currents near the surface or in the deep waters?
Vertically
What is global wind system?
The Global Wind System is caused by the unequal heating of the Earth's surface.
What shape are clouds?
Clouds dont actually have a specific shape. Their shape is formed by wind currents in the sky.
How do global wind patterns and ocean currents affect a region?
Oh bla bla bla who cares
What wind belt is Florida located in?
global wind belt in Miami Florida
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
Ocean currents and global wind patterns strongly affects a regions what?
Climate(:
What causes an uneven isolation that results in global wind currents?
Earths Tilt
What causes the uneven insolation that results in global wind currents?
Earth's tilt
Could wind mills be causing global warming because of the change in wind currents?
Yes it could be that. That is such an amazing idea!
How do ocean currents affect plant and animal populations?
By the wind and temperture
Can wind currents affect flight?
Yes, indeed, in many ways.
What primarily drives the surface ocean currents?
The driving force behind surface currents is the wind. The wind happens naturally due to the constant rotating of the Earth.
What cause the global convection current the equator and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.
