Deep Currents
Occurs when the density of the water increases.
Density is based on two main things it is the Salinity is how much salt and other solids are in it and it is also the temperature of the water.The lower the temperature the lower the dense the water becomes.
Salinity (how much salt) of the water and low temperatures.

What are the two causes of density in deep current waters waters?
Salinity (how much salt) of the water and low temperatures
What is a deep current-?
Deep current is a movement of the ocean water. The ocean waters current is continuous.
What is a sea current?
A Deep Sea Current is a ocean current formed by density.
What Current are caused by temperature and density differences?
deep
What does Deep Current mean?
A Deep Sea Current is a ocean current formed by density.
What drives current deep in the ocean?
C- DIFFERENCES IN WATER DENSITY
What are the deep ocean currents?
These currents make up 90% of the ocean waters.These waters move around the ocean basins due to variations in the density and gravity.Deep waters sinks into the deep ocean basins at high latitudes , where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase.
What is the relationship between the north equatorial current and the golf stream?
They are complimentary the gulf stream caries warm surface waters north. The north equatorial current carries cold deep waters south.
What causes the direction of current flow?
I assume you are referring to oceanic currents (instead of electrical current). Oceanic current is divided into 2 types: Surface Ocean Current -- affected by wind. Deep Ocean Current --cause by water density (mineral rich vs clearer water) and temperature gradient (differences in heat)
When was Deep Waters - book - created?
Deep Waters - book - was created in 1967.
What causes deep curents?
Deep currents are caused partially by wind and the Coriolis effect and the other part is caused by the density change in water.
Deep currents are the result of?
Deep current are the result of density differences. Differences in temperatures and salinity are the driving forces behind different densities.
