What else can I help you with?
How would you describe a wave?
A movement of water cause by currents and wind.
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Currents powered by wind are called wind-driven currents or wind-driven circulation. These currents are created by the friction between the wind and the surface of the water, causing the water to move in the direction of the wind.
What are currents and what do they cause?
wind
What cause surface currents?
Wind!
The wind stirs up currents?
Surface
What factors cause currents?
wind, gravity, and density
What are air currents cause by temperature differences?
Wind
What is the main cause of currents?
the Coriolis EffectThe wind!
What four factors cause ocean currents?
The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon and earth. Direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.
What is the most important cause of surface currents?
Surface currents are primarily driven by wind patterns. Winds transfer their energy to the surface of the ocean, creating friction that propels the movement of water. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, also influences the direction of surface currents.
What is the cause of waves currents and tides?
the wind and shifting of the earth.
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.
