What is the cause of oceanic currents?
Ocean currents are caused by various factors. They are made from earthquakes, winds, tides and differences in density. The currents of the ocean have an effect on the weather.
What four factors cause ocean currents?
The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon and earth. Direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.
What are currents and what do they cause?
wind
What do deep currents cause?
They cause movement of the ocean.
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
What are the three factors that from deep currents?
The three factors that form deep ocean currents are temperature, salinity, and density. These factors influence the movement of water masses in the ocean, creating currents that can circulate for thousands of kilometers.
What cause surface currents?
Wind!
What do currents in earth's liquid core cause?
It cause Tsunami
What causes density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
What is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
What are three factor that control deep currents?
The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon. Also the direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.
What factors-affect density currents?
Salinity and temperature
