The Coriolis effect causes surface ocean currents to?
bend and curve
What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis effect
which statement best describes the coriolis effect?
The rotation of Earth causes the apparent path of ocean currents to curve
When the path of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the Earths rotation it is called the?
The Coriolis effect
When the paths of wind and ocean currents curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
Coriolis effect and your mom
When the paths of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
The Coriolis effect
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 force between the ocean the wind causes surface currents?
Ocean currents are dure to a cobination of wind, the Corilis effect, and temperature differences.
How do winds create currents?
Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and currents in the southern hemisphere curve to the left.Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines.
What causes gyres?
Gyres are circular movements of ocean currents caused by the Coriolis Effect.
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
Why can't currents flow in strightlines?
Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines . Instead the Ocean currents curve to the left and to the right?
