What else can I help you with?
What keeps the suface ocean currents moving?
Surface ocean currents are primarily driven by winds and the Earth's rotation. Winds create friction on the surface of the water, causing it to move in the direction of the wind. The Coriolis effect, a result of the Earth's rotation, deflects the moving water to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, helping to establish the circular patterns of ocean currents.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What 3 animals that live in the ocean?
open sea suface
What layer of the ocean do coral reefs live?
In the suface layer
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
What are the effects of ocean currents?
what are the effects of the ocean currents>
What advantages of ocean currents?
advantage of ocean currents
Are ocean currents predictable?
yes ocean currents are predictable
What are the three types of ocean currents?
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
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.
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
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.
