What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What is the cause of oceanic currents?
Ocean currents are caused by various factors. They are made from earthquakes, winds, tides and differences in density. The currents of the ocean have an effect on the weather.
How are ocean currents created explain?
Ocean currents are created by the rotation of the Earth, and enhanced by the prevailing winds at the equator which constantly blow west.
How do winds affect ocean waters?
Winds affect ocean water by blowing the water across making ocean currents and changing the temperature. Catastrophic Events? Me too.
