well some of us don't have the book and some teachers don't give us the books that why we look up the answers use your head for once.

Compare the causes and effects of deep currents and surface currents?
deep currents form when dense water neat the poles sinks and flows slowly along the ocea floor
What are the two kinds of ocean currents and how do the form?
if you beat your meat really fast.
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
The energy that creates surface ocean currents comes from prevailing winds?
True
What is the difference between waves and currents?
when the surface of the sea is distributed, waves are produced. waves are seen moving on the surface of water but actually their movement is not extensive and the movement of water from one part of the ocean to another gives rise to currents.
What is the primary difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Compare and contrast surface currents and deep currents. They are both are moving water that flows through oceans. Surface currents are towards the top of the ocean, can be warm or cold, and are controlled by winds. Deep currents are low, deep in the ocean, cold, and are controlled by density.
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What is the cause of most surface currents?
Density
How do surface currents differ from density currents?
The same thing! Deep Currents Occur when the density of the water increases. Density is based on two main things it is the civility is how much salt and other solids are in it and it is also the temperature of the water.The lower the temperature the lower the dense the water becomes. The denser the water the more it was to go down. The less dense the water wants to rise. The temperature is what causes the dense. Deep current:A streamline movement of ocean water far below the surface.
Describe the effect of temperature on density currents?
when a substance is cooler at the surface, the density increases in the substance.
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Compare the causes and effects of deep currents and surface currents?
deep currents form when dense water neat the poles sinks and flows slowly along the ocea floor
Why are density currents so important to marine life in the deep ocean?
Retain the oxygen absorved at the surface layer, as well as the tempeature, salinity, and density.
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
Compare the directions in which surface currents flow near the poles and near the equator?
Sixth grade work..... SMH
Compare and contrast the ways external and internal forces produce surface landforms?
They r the same br
What will happen if the density of surface water in the lake does not change?
The water will be calm, because a change in density causes water to move and can also cause deep water currents
