What is shown on a surface map?
A surface map typically shows weather conditions at the Earth's surface, including temperature, precipitation, air pressure, and wind patterns. It provides a visual representation of current weather conditions in a specific geographic area.
What map would be used to depict the speed and direction of ocean currents?
A current map, or ocean current map, would be used to depict the speed and direction of ocean currents. These maps illustrate the movement of surface ocean water across regions and are important for understanding ocean circulation patterns.
What is a map of the ocean called?
A map of the ocean is called a topographic map. On a map the oceans surface has highs and lows look similar to the hills and valleys of the Earth's surface.
Is Gulf stream a surface current or a density current?
surface current
What system for mapping the round earth on a flat surface called?
A map projection is a way to represent the curved surface of the Earth on the flat surface of a map.
What are planar projections?
A planar projection map is a map projected onto a plane (flat surface). The details of the globe are a rectangular shaped map that is on a flat surface.
Is the north Atlantic drift a surface current or a deep water current?
a surface current
Which is colder a deep current or a surface current?
wat
What is a surface current?
A current at the surface of water. usually caused by wind.
What does a surface current do when deflects?
When a surface current deflects, it changes direction.
What happens when a curved surface is transferred to a flat map?
When a curved surface, such as the Earth's surface, is transferred to a flat map, distortion occurs. This distortion can affect the shape, size, distance, and direction of features on the map, known as map projection. Different map projections are used to minimize these distortions for specific purposes.
What map shows earths surface features and elevation?
A topographical map.
