Is it true that when warm and cold currents meet tide is formed?
No, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon, not by currents.
What does the tide turned mean?
It means that the tide currents have shifted. There are two main tides: high tide and low tide. When the tide is high or rising toward high, currents are driven toward the beach. When it is low or dropping toward low, the currents are driven away from the beach. Some people also use the term to refer to life situations that change. You could say "the tide turned" when someone was seriously ill and became better, or if things were looking bad for someone and changed to a good outlook.
What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate?
ocean currents transfer energy and climate through the sun and the ocean tide. they also transfer heat and oxygen through water currents.
How do tidal currents perform in open ocean?
Tidal currents usually occur near shorelines not in the open ocean. This is caused by the motion of the tide going in and out which is influenced by the moon.

What can you Compare and contrast about flood and ebb current?
Flood currents occur when the tide is rising and water is moving towards the shore, while ebb currents occur when the tide is falling and water is moving away from the shore. Flood currents typically bring in nutrient-rich water and are associated with higher water levels, while ebb currents can be stronger and are associated with lower water levels. Both currents can influence navigation, sediment transport, and marine life in coastal areas.
What is the idiom for the tide turned over?
There is no idiom "the tide turned over." There is a saying that "the tide turned," but it's not an idiom because you can figure out what it means by thinking. Tides "turn" when they shift from high tide to low tide - the currents either go toward the beach or away from it depending on what tide is coming up. People say "the tide turned" or "the tide will turn" to mean that situations in life are changing, just in the same way that the tides change.
What are the strong and hazardous sea currents called which push away from the shore when a large storm is near?
Tide rip
