What else can I help you with?
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
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 would happen to your climate as you move away from the ocean?
As you move away from the ocean it gets less and less windy
If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?
You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring what waters?
Ocean currents moving away from the equator typically bring colder waters from higher latitudes towards the equator. These colder waters often carry nutrients, which can impact marine ecosystems and provide a source of food for various marine organisms.
Do you get more sunlight if you move closer to the equator or farther?
You get more sunlight if you move closer to the equator. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year compared to areas farther away from the equator.
Does the Gulf Stream move water away from the equator and the Benguela current move some of this same water back towards the equator?
Yes, the Gulf Stream transports warm water from the tropics toward the North Atlantic, away from the equator. The Benguela Current located off the southwest coast of Africa transports some of this water back towards the equator, creating a cyclical flow pattern in the ocean.
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
Which is the only ocean through which the equator does not pass?
The equator does not pass through the Arctic Ocean.
Which is the only ocean that the equator does not pass through?
The equator does not pass through the Arctic Ocean.
Do water temperatures tend to cool off as you move away from the equator?
Yes, water temperatures generally tend to cool off as you move away from the equator towards the poles due to the tilt of the Earth and differences in solar radiation. As you move closer to the poles, there is less direct sunlight and warmth from the sun, resulting in cooler water temperatures.
