What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
What causes mild climates in Europe?
ThE ocean currents
What ocean current causes warming?
up currents
What things cause ocean currents?
Ocean currents result from two processes - the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement- a process known as convection. Convection occurs because the oceanic waters heat up becoming less dense. Winds have the most important influence on the flow of currents, but tides, precipitation, evaporation rates, shape of the ocean floor, and inflow from rivers and adjacent seas are also important.
HOW does the Coriolis effect impact ocean currents in the southern and northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the right. In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the left. This deflection leads to the clockwise rotation of ocean currents in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere.
When are tidal currents not important?
open ocean
How do deep ocean currents occur?
It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.
What effect causes ocean currents to curve to the right or the left?
the answer is Coriolis
What causes deep ocean surface currents?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
What causes ocean waves currents?
Winds and subsea movement of water.
What causes the formation of the two type of ocean currents?
The MOON and SUN
