Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
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 water temperatures tend to cool off as you move away from the equator?
Yes, but remember certain ocean currents carry warm water from the equator to cooler regions and vice versa. Convection currents create chaos. XD
How does the unequal heating of Earth's surface affect the ocean currents?
It affects ocean currents because the sun hits the equator directly unlike towards the poles where they get less sun because they are farther away.
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator

What are surface curents?
ocean currents that lead away from the equator. Examples: Gulf Stream and Brazil Current

Where surface currents carry water away from an area an upwelling may occur what is that wells up?
cookies and cream
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring what waters?
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring warm waters.
How does the unequal heating of Earth's surface affect the ocean currents?
It affects ocean currents because the sun hits the equator directly unlike towards the poles where they get less sun because they are farther away.
Which two ocean currents are both warm currents that primarily flow away from the equator?
Alaska current and Falkland current
What is the general rule regarding the temperature of currents moving towards and away from the equator?
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
