What else can I help you with?
How does density currents circaulate water?
Density currents circulate water because of density defferences.
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What is a density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
Why do density current happens?
why do density currents hapen?
Do density currents ocour in the pacific ocean?
Yes, density currents occur in the Pacific Ocean, as they do in other oceanic regions. These currents are driven by differences in water density, which can result from variations in temperature and salinity. In the Pacific, processes such as upwelling and downwelling contribute to the formation of density currents, impacting nutrient distribution and marine ecosystems. Such currents play a crucial role in the ocean's thermohaline circulation.
What has the author B S Jenkins written?
B. S. Jenkins has written: 'Density currents and turbidity currents in waste disposal in the ocean' -- subject(s): Waste disposal in the ocean, Seawater, Turbidity, Density currents, Density
What causes density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
How does density affect currents?
Salinity and temperature
What are deep currents caused by?
water density
What is the role of density in turbidity currents?
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
How do surface currents differ from density currents?
The same thing! Deep Currents Occur when the density of the water increases. Density is based on two main things it is the civility is how much salt and other solids are in it and it is also the temperature of the water.The lower the temperature the lower the dense the water becomes. The denser the water the more it was to go down. The less dense the water wants to rise. The temperature is what causes the dense. Deep current:A streamline movement of ocean water far below the surface.
