What are 3 things that affect surface ocean currents?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
What are the 3 factors of surface currents?
continental deflections,global winds, coriolis effect
How long have convection currents been moving the Earth's surface?
Approximately 3 billion (3,000,000,000) years
What four factors cause ocean currents?
The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon and earth. Direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.
What 3 things set convection currents in motion?
The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.
How do surface currents develop?
Deep ocean currents are caused by 3 things:change in temperaturechange in salinity by evaporationchange in salinity by freezingBecause colder water and saltier water are more dense, they sink, and the motion causes deep currents.
What has the author U R Christensen written?
U. R Christensen has written: 'Time varying eddy currents on a conducting surface in 3-D using a network mesh method' -- subject(s): Eddy currents (Electric), Electric networks
What 3 things limit cell size?
DNA, Diffusion, and Surface Area to Volume Ratio.
What three things can cause slow change of the earths surface?
There are four main kinds of changes that can affect the earth's surface: 1)Earthquake 2)Flood 3)Valcano 4)Temperature
What 3 things can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface?
The 3 things that can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface are:1. It can be Transmitted2. Absorbed3. Reflected
What 3 things effect evaporation and condensation?
The three things which effect evaporation and condensation are: 1. Surface Area 2. Humidity 3. Temperature of surroundings
What are three factor that control deep currents?
The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon. Also the direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.
