What factors set surface ocean currents into motions?
Factors that set surface ocean currents into motions are the global circulation cells (Hadley, Ferrel, Polar), the Coriolis effect, and the continental deflection.
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What factors determine the path of surface oceans currents?
joe moma
What three factors that affect surface ocean currents?
the sun and erosion
What three factors controls the path of surface currents?
wind,earth's rotation,weather
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
What factors control the movement of surface currents?
Air currents, earth's rotation and the location of the continents. <<< textbook source!
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
What are three factors that controles surface currents?
global winds, Coriolis effect, and continental deflection
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
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.
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz
