they change the oceans temperature.
what are the effects of the ocean currents>
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
Surface current
Ocean currents have been created with the purpose of distributing heat (and cold) on earth. This has effects on the weather, which would be very different if the ocean waters were somehow static.
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
Cold currents remove thermal energy from the air above and warm currents warm the air above Apex
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
advantage of ocean currents
yes ocean currents are predictable
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.
