What causes cold nutrientrich waters to move up to the oceans surface?
ocean fronts
What is the opposite of the ocean bottom?
The opposite of bottom would be the top, so the oceans surface is the opposite of the ocean floor/bottom.
Does a great white shark live at the bottom of the sea?
No the Great White Shark lives in the surface layers of the oceans.
What effects does the surface-wind pattern have on the circulation of the oceans?
The movement of wind over the surface of the ocean causes friction. The wind drags the ocean surface with it, making the pattern called surface-ocean wind-drift currents.
How much water covers the oceans surface?
The oceans surface is 100% water.
The continuous movement of water from earths surface to the atmosphere and back again?
water cycle
How do differences in density cause currents to flow both in the surface waters of the oceans and in the bottom waters of the ocean?
The differing densities of water create a consistent movement between the various thermal layers. As water is cooled, it actually expands, so it rises, and as it is warmed it sinks.
Why aren't that many craters on Earth?
Because of the weather, plate tectonics (the movement of the land), as well as the oceans, the surface of the Earth is in a state of constant change.
What terms means the constant movement of the earths water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans?
Water cycle is the term for the constant movement of the earth's water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans
Is One-fourth of the earth's surface is covered by oceans?
No. Approximately two thirds of the world's surface is covered by oceans
What is the upward movement of cold water from the oceans depths called?
It is called "upwelling" and occurs due to wind-induced surface motion, and often the Coriolis effect.
What is the effect of wind pushing on the surface water of the oceans?
oceans are the best.
