Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Compare the directions in which surface currents flow near the poles and near the equator?
Sixth grade work..... SMH
Which direction do global winds blow ocean currents near the equator?
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
What direction do surface currents near the equator?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
In what direction do cold currents generally flow in the northern hemisphere?
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
In what direction do cold currents generally flow in the nothern hemisphere?
This current flows southerly towards the equator.
What direction do cold currents flow in the northern hemisphere?
warm surface currents come from the polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, mainly atmospheric forces drive them. Gyres form when the major ocean currents connect. Water flows in a circular pattern-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.
What is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
