What are the two types of ocean currents?
deep currents streamlike movement of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. surface current can influence the climate of land are they flow past.
What is warm ocean current and how many types of warm ocean current are there?
discuss warm ocean currents
What effects do deeps currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
