How do warm and cool ocean currents form?
fsa
Are the ocean currents in the pacific warm or cold?
Both: Tidal currents that flow from the tropics will be warm, and if they flow from the poles will be cool.
Why do the oceans have a great impact on the weather over the continents?
The oceans are the source of most of the humidity in the atmosphere. They also have more mild temperatures than the land, and thus cool or warm coastal areas. Ocean currents effect the temperatures of nearby land masses (cool currents make the land cooler, warm currents make the land warmer).
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.
What moves through oceans bringing warm or cool temperatures from other places?
currents =)
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
How do currents affect?
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
Why are ocean currents important to coastal regions?
they can warm or cool the air temperature along the coastal regions.
What is rising warm air being replaced by cool air?
I believe this is what causes wind and air currents.
How does heat cause ocean currents?
Warm water expands and rises, cool water contracts and sinks.
Is the influence of cool ocean currents on coastal temperatures more pronounced in summer or winter?
It has to be the Summer. In Winter, the ocean currents are WARM compared to coastal temperatures.
How do currents affect temperature?
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
