What directions do ocean currents move?
currents rise and then go down ,which it in cycle to add on to the above; the currents move clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere
Which way do currents rotate in the southern hemisphere?
The gyres rotate counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere, and clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
Do surface currents move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere?
no to the right
Why do large land areas cause surface currents to change direction?
because the surface currents move in huge circles ,they move clockwise in the northern hemisphere
What hemisphere does currents go clockwise?
Wind and ocean currents generally rotate clockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Do currents in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
Yes, in the northern hemisphere the currents flow clockwise.
Which way do currents move in the northern hemisphere southern hemisphere?
Currents in the Northern Hemisphere move in a clockwise direction. Currents in the Southern Hemisphere move in a counter clockwise direction.
Which are cold water currents northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere?
Cold water currents are found in both the northern and southern hemispheres. However, in the northern hemisphere, some well-known cold water currents include the California Current and the Canary Current. In the southern hemisphere, examples include the Benguela Current and the Peru Current.
How do currents flow in the northern Hemisphere?
In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean currents generally flow clockwise due to the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. This means that currents are deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. For example, the Gulf Stream off the east coast of the United States flows northward and then eastward across the Atlantic Ocean.
In which hemisphere do currents flow clockwise?
Northern
How do currents in the northern hemisphere differ from the currents in the southern hemisphere?
By the flow of each bed then multiply xyd dhfa
How does the rotation of earth modifies ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right
How does the rotation of earth modify ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right
How do winds create currents?
Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and currents in the southern hemisphere curve to the left.Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines.
What direction do currents flow in the northern hemisphere?
left
Why do currents curve in the northern hemisphere?
the wind takes them
The circulation of ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere is generally?
clockwiseThe circulation of ocean currents in the Southern Hemisphere is generally:counter clockwise
