What else can I help you with?
Can movement of tectonic plates cause oceanic currents?
yes...it affects a lot.....
What does ocanic mean?
It seems like there might be a typo in your question. It's possible you meant to ask about the word "oceanic," which typically refers to things related to or characteristic of the ocean, such as oceanic currents, oceanic fauna, or oceanic climate.
Do oceanic electric fields produce electric currents?
Yes
What kinds of ocean currents might cause seafloor spreading?
Oceanic currents themselves do not directly cause seafloor spreading. Seafloor spreading is primarily driven by tectonic forces, specifically the movement of tectonic plates away from each other at mid-ocean ridges. This movement leads to the upwelling of magma from the mantle, creating new oceanic crust at the spreading center. Ocean currents can affect the distribution of heat and nutrients in the ocean, but they do not play a direct role in the process of seafloor spreading.
How do you Evaluate this statement convection currents only mive oceanic crust?
The statement that convection currents only move oceanic crust is inaccurate. While convection currents in the mantle primarily drive the movement of both oceanic and continental crust, they specifically influence the formation and movement of oceanic crust at mid-ocean ridges. Additionally, tectonic processes such as subduction and continental drift affect both types of crust, indicating that convection currents play a broader role in plate tectonics than the statement suggests.
What are coastal deserts usually the result of?
Coastal deserts, such as the Atacama Desert in South America, have one primary cause. The rain that they would get is diverted away from the coast by cold oceanic currents.
What is EI nano?
EI Nano is warm oceanic currents in south pacific ocean
Why Doesn't It Snow In Prince Rupert Canada?
It has an oceanic climate moderated by warm ocean currents
Which layer of the Earth do Covection Currents occur in?
The major ones involve the mantle and the oceanic crust.
What causes the oceanic lithosphere to move away from the mid-ocean ridge?
it is caused by convection currents
Why is old oceanic crust denser than new oceanic crust?
cause its cooler
How do atmospheric and oceanic circulations transport heat?
Atmospheric- Pressure systems, Oceans- warm and cold currents.
