How are ocean currents like wind currents?
they are both currents.
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
What are some ways that ocean currents and wind are similar?
They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.
What causes ocean surface currents?
A surface current is a current caused by wind direction
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
Which two elements Surface currents are caused by friction?
the ocean surface and wind
Surface currents are caused by friction between which two elements?
the ocean surface and wind
Where are currents found?
A surface current is found at the surface of the ocean caused by wind patterns.
How do oceans influence wind speed and direction?
The ocean does not influence wind speed and direction. The currents in the ocean are caused by wind speed and direction. The tides in the ocean are influenced by the phases of the moon.
How do the oceans influence wind speed direction?
The ocean does not influence wind speed and direction. The currents in the ocean are caused by wind speed and direction. The tides in the ocean are influenced by the phases of the moon.
Do ocean waters and winds help to distribute the suns heat?
Wind and ocean currents are both produced by the Earth's unequal heating. This leads to the conclusion that the Sun is the main component in wind currents and ocean currents, because the Sun is what heats the Earth.
How do the ocean influence wind speed and direction?
