Do deep ocean currents and surface currents mix?
Deep ocean currents and surface currents do meet, but mixing is limited. The waters stratify based on temperatures and salinity. The higher the salinity, the heavier the water.
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
How do ocean currents affect temperature?
ocean currents may be considerably warmer or colder than the normal surface air temperatures. their effect is greatest when the prevailing winds blow from the water to the land.
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 is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

The rising of cold currents to the ocean surface is called?
The rising of the deep cold currents to the ocean surface is called
Is the influence of cool ocean currents on coastal temperatures more pronounced in summer or winter?
It has to be the Summer. In Winter, the ocean currents are WARM compared to coastal temperatures.
