How surface currents formed?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
How are surface currents form?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
When surface currents meet continents the currents deflect or change directiontrue or flase?
True. When surface currents encounter continents, they are deflected or change direction due to the landmass's obstruction. This phenomenon can lead to the formation of boundary currents and can influence local climate and marine ecosystems. The interaction between currents and continental margins is a key aspect of ocean circulation.
How does a continent affect the movement of a surface current?
A continent can disrupt the flow of a surface current by acting as a barrier and forcing the current to change direction or split. This can create eddies, upwelling, or downwelling of water that can impact the speed and direction of the current. Continents can also influence the formation and intensification of currents by shaping the overall circulation patterns in the ocean.
What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
Do deep ocean currents and surface currents mix?
Deep ocean currents and surface currents do interact and influence each other. While they flow at different depths and have different driving factors (wind for surface currents and density for deep currents), they are connected through the global ocean circulation system. Changes in one can impact the other over time.
What are the three factors that influence the direction of winds and surface currents?
Glocal winds: they occur when different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. The coriolis effect: The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth's rotation. Continental deflections: When surface currents meet continents, the currents deflect, or change direction.
What is the term given to to the point where two opposite electrical currents meet?
node Any number of currents can meet at a node, not just two.
What are the names of the continents that meet at the location of the Fertile Crescent?
The names of the continents that meet at the location of the fertile crescent [also known as Mesopotamia] are Asia and Africa.
Where does subduction happen?
subduction occurs where 2 continents meet or where the tectonic plates meet. :)
What is ocean continent convergence?
Where ocean and continents meet
What are tectonic plates how were continents formed?
these are the plates under the land and they are spins round and when they meet and they form the continents
