Currents are caused by the Moon's gravity?
currents are generated by the forces acting upon the ocean, such as breaking waves, wind, Coriolis force, temperature, salinity differences and tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. Depth contours, shoreline configurations and interaction with other currents influence a current's direction and strength.
Upwelling and downwelling?
Upwelling is caused by currents on the surface. When water moves from the bottom of the ocean towards the surface it is called upwelling. Downwelling is when more dense water sinks. This process moves nutrients back to the deep part of the ocean.
Cell death caused by perforin and granzymes is caused by?
I think it may be caused by CTLs
WHere does wind start?
Wind can be caused by either pressure or temperature differences. From there you get into which is cause and which is effect. Wind starts when you have heated air rising and cooler air flowing in to take its place. As the lighter heated air rises, the cooler, heavier air will rush in to take its place. Once the heated air cools in the upper atmosphere, it then falls back.
Insulin reaction can be caused by?

What are deep-water currents caused by cold water sinking and pushing up warmer water?
density currents.
Deep ocean currents are caused by the sinking of warm water near the poles?
False
How are crustal plates moved?
It is causes by Bobby Chen jumping up and down
Most geologists thinks that the movement of earths plates is caused by?
Geologists have hypothesized that the movement of tectonic plates is related to convection currents in the earth's mantle. Convection currents describe the rising, spread, and sinking of gas, liquid, or molten material caused by the application of heat.

What currents are currents caused by temperature?
wind
How are convection currents important to the plate technics theory?
movement of large sections of Earth's crust :) . _ NovaNET
What type of currents are caused by the moon's gravity?
Tidal Currents are caused by the gravity of the Moon.
Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?
All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
What is the curving of winds and currents caused by earth rotation is called?
Curving of winds and currents caused by Earth's rotation is called surface currents.
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.
