What else can I help you with?
What is the definition to surface currents?
surface currents are horizontal, steamlike movements of water that are found at or near the surface of the ocean
What instrument measures the horizontal movements along faults?
A seismometer is the instrument used to measure horizontal movements along faults. It records the seismic waves generated by these movements.
How would you describe the horizontal flexion movements?
A flexion preformed across the horizontal plane.
What are tide currents?
Tidal currents are not quite the same thing as tides. Tidal currents are horizontal movements of water caused by the tides.
What monitors both vertical and horizontal movements along fault?
GPS and interferometric synthetic aperture radar monitor both vertical and horizontal movements along the fault.
What are horizontal movements of Water that are caused by wind and occur at or near the Ocean's surface called?
Horizontal movements of water caused by wind and occurring at or near the ocean's surface are called surface currents. They play a significant role in redistributing heat around the Earth and influencing global climate patterns.
What is the movement asociated with a strike slip fault?
Horizontal sideways movements.
What monitors both vertical and horizontal movements along a fault?
A seismometer, which is a device that measures ground movements, can detect both vertical and horizontal movements along a fault. These instruments are crucial for monitoring seismic activity and predicting potential earthquakes.
What are the differences between dextral and sinistral fault movements?
Dextral fault movements involve horizontal displacement where the right side of the fault moves horizontally relative to the left side. Sinistral fault movements involve horizontal displacement where the left side of the fault moves horizontally relative to the right side. These movements are determined based on the direction of horizontal displacement across the fault plane.
Is up and down horizontal?
Forward and backwards, right and left can be horizontal movements. The ocean waves moves horizontally. Up and down are vertical movements. A rocket that's been recently fired moves vertically. So the answer to your question is no.
What are the movements of water called?
The movements of water are often referred to as water currents or water circulation. These movements can include processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, melting, freezing, and flow in rivers and oceans.
One cause of water mixing in the mixed layer is?
wind-induced turbulence, which can drive the mixing of water within the mixed layer. This turbulence occurs as wind energy is transferred into the water column, causing vertical and horizontal movements that mix different water masses together.
