What is a north Atlantic current?
The North Atlantic Current is a vast, slow moving warm current. It is created from the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current joining at southern Greenland, which creates the widening and slowing of the Gulf Stream. The North Atlantic Current splits near western Europe, one part creating the warm Norway Current flowing northward along the coast of Norway and the other creating the cold Canary Current deflecting southward, eventually warming and rejoining the North Equatorial Current.
Is the Atlantic Ocean flowing or standing still?
the Atlantic ocean is flowing
What is the Ammount of current flowing?
The measurement of how fast the current is flowing is the Ampere.
What is the name of flowing electricity?
Flowing electricity is called electric current.
Define Gulf Stream?
A warm ocean current flowing north from the gulf of Mexico, along the east coast of the U.S. , to an area off the southeast coast of Newfoundland, where it becomes the western terminus of the north Atlantic current.
What is the imaginary line that divides rivers flowing into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans?
The imaginary line that divides rivers flowing into the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans is called the Continental Divide. It runs along the mountain ranges through North and South America, determining the direction in which water flows towards either ocean.
What kind of force keeps current flowing in a circuit?
EMF (voltage) is the force that keeps current flowing in a circuit.
What does a inductive ammeter do?
It measures current by creating a coil around the current carrying wire. Current flowing in the wire induces a current in the amp-meter proportional to the current flowing in the wire.
Do most South American rivers flow into the Pacific or Atlantic Oceans?
With the Mississippi River flowing into the Gulf of Mexico and all eastern rivers flowing directly into the Atlantic, the answer is Atlantic. The Atlantic wins by a slim margin! More rivers in the United States flow into the Atlantic Ocean.The answers is the Atlantic Ocean.
When charges continually shift from flowing in one direction to flowing in the reverse direction what current is there?
It is called an alternating current
Why was the capacitor discharging current negative?
When a capacitor is discharging, current is flowing out of the capacitor to other elements in the circuit, similar to a battery. Current flowing out of an element, by convention, is defined as negative current, while current flowing into an element, such as a resistor, is defined as positive current. Thus a discharging capacitor will always have a negative current.
Which oceans have the greatest number of rivers flowing into them?
Atlantic & Indian
