What Surface ocean currents are primarily formed by?
winds
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Do ocean currents drive Earth's plates?
Yes
Which two ocean currents are both warm currents that primarily flow away from the equator?
Alaska current and Falkland current
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
Why are the earth's winds and ocean currents important to life on the planet?
There are many different forces that create ocean currents. Among them are: the earth's rotation, salinity differences, wind, density differences, and buoyant forces. Temperature differences can create some of these differences, but we would have ocean currents even if the oceans were a uniform temperature.
What are some examples of contructive forces?
ocean currents volcanism that's all I can give you
What are the driving forces of climate?
solar cycles and ocean currents are two of the main things
What causes forces that affect currents in the ocean?
the uneven heating of the earth and change in the weather.
What primarily drives the surface ocean currents?
The driving force behind surface currents is the wind. The wind happens naturally due to the constant rotating of the Earth.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
