What is the cause of most surface currents?
Density
Steady winds that follow the same paths most of tnhe time can cause?
surface currents
Most surface waves are caused by?
Most surface waves are caused by wind. Tsunamis are formed by heat and circular wind motions. Tidal waves are caused by hurricanes with huge wind currents.
Do surface waves or secondary waves cause the most damage in an earthquake?
Surface waves cause the most damage because they have the highest amplitude of all the types of seismic wave.
In which earth layer are most convection currents that cause seafloor spreading thought to be located?
The Asthenosphere, a.k.a. the Plastic Mantle.

What is the most movement of water on the ocean's surface?
Surface Currents.
Describe the force that drives most surface currents?
Wind
Why is it important to study ocean currents?
It is important because when your looking at historical events in history involving currents most of the events have involved weather

What things cause ocean currents?
Ocean currents result from two processes - the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement- a process known as convection. Convection occurs because the oceanic waters heat up becoming less dense. Winds have the most important influence on the flow of currents, but tides, precipitation, evaporation rates, shape of the ocean floor, and inflow from rivers and adjacent seas are also important.
What direction do most of the surface currents north of the equator move?
The current north of the equator moves clockwise.
Most surface waves are caused by?
Most surface waves are caused by wind. Tsunamis are formed by heat and circular wind motions. Tidal waves are caused by hurricanes with huge wind currents.
Because the oceans cover most of the earth's surface do the ocean currents transport most of the earth's energy from one region to another?

Why are ocean currents important to fishermen?
Knowing the currents could mean living in the sea. Some Fishermen has the most dangerous job. Sometimes they don't come back.
Do surface waves or secondary waves cause the most damage in an earthquake?
Surface waves cause the most damage because they have the highest amplitude of all the types of seismic wave.
