What drives current deep in the ocean?
C- DIFFERENCES IN WATER DENSITY
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What are deep ocean currents caused by?
global winds and differences in temperature and salinity.
What causes difference in water density?
the presence of minerals such as sodium cholride,magnesium etc causes the difference in ocean water ....
How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What can causes an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What causes the formation of the two types of ocean currents?
Temperature, density, and salinity of water
What can causes a increase in the density of the ocean water?
the amount of salinity in the water and high temperatures
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
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)
What two forces primarily drive the ocean currents?
From apex: Density Differences in water and Energy transfer from winds. Hope it's the same for you
How does differences in density cause convection currents in ocean water?
Convection occurs whenever a less dense liquid is beneath a denser liquid.
