What else can I help you with?
The rotating loops of currents that occur in the ocean are referred to as?
The rotating loops of currents that occur in the ocean are referred to as gyres. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world.
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
Are ocean currents located near or far from a coast?
ocean currents truly are everywhere, but the do not occur directly on the coast.
Why do deep ocean currents occur?
My best guess is that they occur because of warming and cooling of the surface temperature. I am sure there is a pattern of these deep ocean currents to and from the equator and the poles.
How do deep ocean currents occur?
It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.
When do ocean currents occur?
ocean currents happen when two or more oceans with differant temperetures meet, correct me if im wrong im no expert
Do ocean currents drive Earth's plates?
Yes
What theory explains ocean currents and winds?
3/4 of Earth is ocean
Why is the sun's energy needed for ocean currents to occur?
Some parts of the ocean are heated more than others.
What moves water parallel to Earth's surface?
Winds and ocean currents move water parallel to Earth's surface. Winds can create surface currents through friction with the ocean's surface, while ocean currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation.
What are fast moving rivers in the ocean?
Fast moving rivers int he ocean are called currents. Currents are caused by the Earth's rotation. An ocean current is continuous.
What are the four currents on earth?
Electric, Ocean, Wind and Heat.
