What else can I help you with?
What happens if uneven heating an cooling of land and ocean create?
it creates hot sand and warm water
What is the movement of ocean water that is caused by the uneven heating and density of the ocean water?
It is called an ocean current
What causes forces that affect currents in the ocean?
the uneven heating of the earth and change in the weather.
What powers surface ocean currents?
Uneven heating from the sun.
What is responsible for the uneven heating drives wind and ocean currents from day to day?
Earth's tilt
Does patterns of heating and cooling result in ocean currents?
No, tectonic plates underground and the moon affects the ocean
How does uneven heating of the earth cause ocean currents?
Uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun leads to temperature differences in the atmosphere and ocean. This temperature variance creates areas of high and low pressure, which in turn drive wind patterns. Wind patterns then influence the movement of surface ocean waters, creating ocean currents.
What causes uneven heating of the earth?
Uneven heating of the Earth's surface is primarily caused by variances in the angle of the sun's rays, due to the Earth's tilt on its axis. This tilt results in different amounts of solar energy reaching different parts of the Earth, leading to variations in temperature. Additionally, factors such as cloud cover, albedo, and ocean currents also contribute to uneven heating patterns.
What results from Uneven heating and density differences in the ocean?
Uneven heating and density differences in the ocean can lead to the formation of ocean currents. Warm water is less dense and tends to rise, while cold water is denser and sinks, creating a circulation pattern. These currents play a crucial role in distributing heat around the world and influencing climate.
What is responsible for the uneven heating tha drives wind and ocean currents from day to day?
Earth's tilt
What does the unequal heating of earths surface cause?
It causes wind, with help from the moon's gravitational pull it causes ocean currents and it also helps with the seasons and weather.Windsconvection currentsUnequal heating of the earth's surface results in wind. That is what happens, if that's your question.
How does the uneven heating in the ocean cause convection currents?
it causes the difference in density, denser water flows to the less dense parts
