How do the ocean 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.
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
What is the driving force of deep-ocean circulation?
Deep ocean circulation(90% of ocean water) is caused by differences in temperature, salinity and suspended load. It is referred to as "Thermohaline"- meaning heat and salt- circulation.
Why the ocean bulges on the sides of the Earth?
The ocean bulge and the tides are caused by attraction from the Moon.
What are ocean bulges called?
Bulges in the ocean are called tides. These are the rising and falling motions of the sea, caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun on the waters of the Earth.
What are the bulges of water in the ocean called?
Bulges of water in the ocean caused by gravity are called tidal bulges. These bulges result from the gravitational forces of the moon and sun on Earth's surface, creating high tide at the location of the bulge.
Are tidal bulges caused by turbidity currents?
No, false.
Tides refer to bulges in ocean water?
yes its true
What type of gravitational pull causes a high tide?
The gravitational pull of the Moon causes high tides. As the Moon orbits Earth, its gravitational force attracts the water in the oceans, creating bulges that result in high tides.
Where do the water bulges occur on earth during the tides?
bulges of water in the ocean are called high tides.
The area between bulges of water in the ocean?
The area between bulges of water in the ocean is known as a trough. This is the part of the water surface that is lower between two adjacent crests. Troughs are typically found in waves and result from the alternating rise and fall of the water.
Bulges of water in the ocean are?
That's a good way to describe the tides. You can think of a permanent bulge in the ocean, pointing toward the moon, with the earth rotating inside the bulge.
How tall is Brian Bulges?
Brian Bulges is 183 cm.
What is the major human-caused problems int he ocean?
pollution is the main human caused problem in the ocean.
What type of ocean current caused the Titanic to sink?
