What are the three types of ocean currents?
There are only two type of Ocean Currents: 1. Surface Currents- 10% of the water in the ocean 2. Deep Water Currents- 90% of the water in the ocean
What 7 things control the climate of an area?
elevation, prevailing winds, latitude, ocean currents, nearby water, topography, vegetation
What are the three climate controls?
1. Latitude 2. Land versus Water 3. Geographic position 4. Mountains 5. Ocean Currents 6. Pressure and Winds
What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
What do ocean currents have to do with climate?
Ocean currents affect climate because they are able to change the temperature of the shores where the currents move to. Warm currents are able to prevent ice formation on some shores and beach lines. This gives the area relatively warmer temperatures throughout the year. The Gulf Stream (a warm current from Mexico to Europe) keeps Western Europe much warmer than the corresponding latitudes in North America. Ocean currents can have a great affect on the neighboring regions. These currents bring temperature and weather changes to these areas. Deep ocean currents changes the temperature and salinity. With the temperature changing, it affects climate.
What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate?
ocean currents transfer energy and climate through the sun and the ocean tide. they also transfer heat and oxygen through water currents.
How water currents affect climate?
The warm water currents in the ocean make the atmosphere warmer hence the climate of those regions become warmer.
What is cold-water currents and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
What is current and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
How does the ocean influence climate?
The ocean influences climate by storing vast amounts of heat energy, regulating temperature variations globally. Ocean currents transport heat around the planet, affecting weather patterns. Additionally, the ocean absorbs carbon dioxide, playing a role in regulating the Earth's climate system.
How do oceans currents and bodys of water affect climate?
ocean currents help distribute solar energy other links are below
How do ocean current and large bodies of water affects climate?
ocean currents help distribute solar energy other links are below
What are the three types of ocean currents?

What are stream like movements of water that have a large effect on an area's climate?
Ocean currents or perhaps gyres.
How does the ocean current effect the climate?
The ocean water's temperatures may change climate by evaporating into the air, as the currents are moving to areas, and the water may stay in the air, making climates hotter and muggier. :D
What are the two types of ocean currents?
deep currents streamlike movement of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. surface current can influence the climate of land are they flow past.
How do deep currents affect climate?
The air of a region where the temperature is higher is warmer than the air of a region where the temperature is lower. As a result, the air will flow from the warmer region to the cooler region. This generates air currents.
