What causes cold nutrientrich waters to move up to the oceans surface?
ocean fronts
What causes ocean currents like the gulf stream?
water that moves at the oceans surface.
What are the two places that the moon causes the oceans to bulge?
i am totally stuck anyone with me
What causes the patterns of surface currents in the ocean?
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
What causes the oceans surface water to be warmer than water in the mixed zone or deep zone?
The sun’s rays hit the surface directly.
How much water covers the oceans surface?
The oceans surface is 100% water.
Which surface current is deflected by the continent south America?
Brazil Current
Which surface current is deflected by the continent of South America?
Brazil Current
What are several causes of surface ocean currents?
The moon particularly takes place in ocean as long as for the way to are the oceans are winding.
What effects does the surface-wind pattern have on the circulation of the oceans?
The movement of wind over the surface of the ocean causes friction. The wind drags the ocean surface with it, making the pattern called surface-ocean wind-drift currents.
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 causes winds to be deflected to the right or the left as they flow from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
