What directly influences deepwater currents?

Deepwater currents are influenced by temperature differences, salinity levels, and the Earth's rotation. These factors affect the density of seawater, which in turn drives the movement of deepwater currents. Additionally, topography, such as underwater mountains and ridges, can also direct the flow of deepwater currents.


Are thermohaline currents surface or deep water currents?

Can movement of tectonic plates cause oceanic currents?

yes...it affects a lot.....


What affects the movement of the mantle?

The movement of the mantle is primarily driven by the transfer of heat from the Earth's core, which causes convection currents. These currents create a cycle of rising and sinking molten rock that drives the movement of tectonic plates. Other factors that can influence mantle movement include the amount and distribution of radioactive elements in the mantle, as well as the effects of slab pull from descending tectonic plates.


How does ocean life affect ocean currents?

It's more likely the other way around. Ocean currents affect ocean life. Perhaps in a subtle way, since all life on the planet affects the atmosphere, especially the algae in the oceans releasing oxygen, that ocean life affects the weather, which in turn affects the ocean currents. It's also possible that some "seaweed forests" slow the movement of currents.


How salinity affects deep currents?

it makes cold water rise 2 the surface.and that's how sailinity affects currents.
