What else can I help you with?
What factor causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different locations?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz
What causes surface currents to move in circular paths?
question mark OK i have no idea
How the earth rotation affects the pattern of surface currents?
It causes the currents to move in curved paths instead of going in a straight line, which is known a the Coriolis effect.
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.
What direction do surface currents move?
The surface currents move in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere, and move in a counter clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere! Hope it helped:)
What is the cause of the currents that make plates move across the earth?
The currents that drive plate movement are caused by the heat generated from the Earth's core. This heat creates convection currents in the mantle, which in turn move the tectonic plates on the Earth's surface.
What causes your plates to move?
convection currents!
Which part of earth's interior is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move?
The mantle is inferred to have convection currents that cause tectonic plates to move. Heat from the Earth's core causes these currents, which transfer heat to the surface and drive the movement of the tectonic plates.
Is it true that ocean currents that move up and down are called surface currents?
Yes
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
Is it true that surface currents usually move in a few thousand meters of ocean?
yes my scuence book says that surface currents do usally move in afew thousand
