What is a slow flowing current at the bottom of the ocean?
a slow flowing current at the bottom of the ocean means that the ocean is very calm and has no danger to anyone what so ever
which of these changes does a submarine encounter as it returns from the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the ocean?
The amount of sunlight increases
What happens to an ocean current when it hits land?

When a submarine explores the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
tidal current
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth's ocean?
I think that the whether that hits the water
What is a bottom current?
bottom current moves very slow.a slow flowing current at the bottom of the ocean means that the ocean is very calm and has no danger to anyone what so ever .Yes it is very much like a flow of water or wind current. In the case of water, it is the water molecules that flow in a pipe. The head or pressure of water is similar to "voltage", the thickness and..
Currents are mainley caused by?
Surface ocean currents are mainly wind-driven and occur in all of the world's oceans. Examples of large surface currents that move across vast expanses of ocean are the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current, the California Current, the Atlantic South Equatorial Current, and the Westwind Drift. --- Vertical and ocean-bottom currents are mainly driven by density differences caused by changes in temperature and salinity.
Why a wave changes in the surf zone?
the bottom of the ocean is closer and the wave hit the bottom and they become shorter increasing the wave lenght
How do differences indensity cause currents to flow both in the surface waters of the ocean and in the bottom waters of the ocean?
As water is on top of the ocean, wind pushes it along, creating a current. As it warms, it interacts with lower colder waters, pulling them along with it. As water cools, it rises and this interaction creates ocean currents.
What flow near the bottom of the ocean and sometimes flow on top of other currents?
Turbidity Current.
What type of scientist most likely to study how an ocean current changes according to the seasons?
Hydrologist
