What is it called when wind and ocean currents work together?
Could it be Ocean-Atmosphere Coupling.
What do patterns of heating and cooling in the atmosphere result in?
Ocean currents. This could also apply to wind currents.
Why might scientists want to learn about ocean currents?
Scientists want to learn about ocean currents because the currents affect Earth's climate and atmosphere and act as conveyor belts.
What causes currents in the ocean and atmosphere?
Warm air rising and cold air sinking in combination with the rotation of the Earth cause the various currents in the atmosphere.
What is Major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean?
Vertical convection in both the ocean and atmosphere is caused by uneven HEATing.The source of energy for convection in the ocean and atmosphere is heating from the sun.
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What is the study of tides and ocean currents called?
The study of tides, waves, currents and the interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere is a part of physical oceanogrpahy. Physical oceanographers study the physical properties of the ocean such as temperature, density, salinity, circulation, currents and tides.
What do the ocean currents transport?
Ocean currents will carry anything from small plankton accross ocean to helping other marine life find warmer or colder waters. to ocean currents can also help guide ships across bodies of water. the ocean currents will also redistribute the density in the ocean water.
What has the author S A Salo written?
S. A Salo has written: 'Winter currents on the eastern Bering Sea shelf' -- subject(s): Ocean currents, Ocean-atmosphere interaction
What kind of science studies waves currents tides acoustics and ocean atmosphere interactions?
Oceanography.
How would unusually warm waters in the gulf of Mexico impact the ocean currents and atmosphere?
j
What is the major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean?
the primary source of ocean currents is the sun but other direct energy sources are1. global wind patternsa. trade windsb. the westerly winds*wind is the cause of surface currents in the oceans.
