How are the north equatorial and south equatorial currents in the pacific ocean alike and different?
The North Equatorial Current and South Equatorial Current in the Pacific Ocean are both warm, fast-moving currents that flow towards the west. They are driven by the trade winds. One key difference is that the North Equatorial Current is influenced by the North Pacific Gyre, while the South Equatorial Current is influenced by the South Pacific Gyre.
North equatorial and south equatorial currents flow in which direction?
North Equatorial flow clockwise and southern counter-clockwise.
How did the North Equatorial and South Equatorial currents got their names?
Probably by what kind of current they get there.
How did the North Equatorial and South Equatorial get their name?
The North Equatorial Current got its name from the fact that it is north of the equator and vise versa with the South Equatorial Current, the fact that it is South of the Equator.
Which two currents are relatively close in magnitude?
The North Equatorial Current and the South Equatorial Current are relatively close in magnitude due to their similar latitudinal positions and the Coriolis effect influencing the strength of ocean currents at the equator.
Currents are mainley caused by?
Surface ocean currents are mainly wind-driven and occur in all of the world's oceans. Examples of large surface currents that move across vast expanses of ocean are the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current, the California Current, the Atlantic South Equatorial Current, and the Westwind Drift. --- Vertical and ocean-bottom currents are mainly driven by density differences caused by changes in temperature and salinity.
In which ocean do equatorial currents flow?
The warm, low salinity waters from Pacific are transported into Indian Ocean's South Equatorial Current.
Do surface currents occur only to the pacific ocean?

What is equatorial circumference for earth?
9.37 degrees south north
What borders equatorial guinea?
Cameroon to the north and east. Gabon to the south and east.
What warm water current runs through the Sargasso Sea?
No curret runs through the Sargasso Sea. The Sargasso Seais a region in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean|North Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by ocean currents. It is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream; on the north, by the North Atlantic Current; on the east, by the Canary Current; and on the south, by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current. This system of currents forms the North Atlantic Subtropical Gyre.
What is the relationship between the north equatorial current and the golf stream?
They are complimentary the gulf stream caries warm surface waters north. The north equatorial current carries cold deep waters south.
