Air is a invisible gaseous substance surrounding the earth, a mixture mainly of oxygen and nitrogen.

Ocean currents the steady flow of surface ocean water in a prevailing direction.

What are some ways that ocean currents and wind are similar?

They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.


Where does the air created?

Ocean Currents.


How Do Ocean Currents Affect Air temperature in coastal and areas?

Ocean currents can influence air temperature in coastal areas by transferring heat from the ocean to the atmosphere. Warm ocean currents can raise air temperatures in coastal regions, while cold ocean currents can lower them. The direction and temperature of the ocean current will determine its impact on the local climate.


What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?

Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.


How do deep ocean currents occur?

It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.


How do ocean currents affect air temperature in coastal areas?

Warm Ocean currents warms the air above it and some move from the tropic towards both poles ---------------------------------------------------------AND----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold Ocean currents also affect weather patterns by bringing cold water from polar to the equator


How do ocean surface currents cause milder climates?

Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.


Where do global winds move cold air?

Ocean currents form


What causes currents in the ocean and atmosphere?

Warm air rising and cold air sinking in combination with the rotation of the Earth cause the various currents in the atmosphere.


which two statments best describe the effects of ocean currents on weather?

Cold currents remove thermal energy from the air above and warm currents warm the air above Apex


How are deep ocean currents form?

Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.


Did six air ocean currents affect the coast of North America?

Yes
