Does a mountain form when a volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean?
No. It is called a volcanic island.
The average salinity of the world ocean?
Salinity of the ocean water is defined as the dissolved salt content in a body of water. The salinity of the ocean is 3.5%, the salinity increases as you approach the equator and decreases as you approach the poles.
Are mountains formed when a volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean?
i think that mountains form when volcano reaches the surface of the water in an ocean because they first make plates that pull and push and they push until they make a mountain and they never let go of pushing they just keep on going and going.
Water is cooler near the poles and warmer near the equator Movement of cooler and warmer water from these regions moderates the global climate what describes the movement of water?
ocean currents
How does water leave the ocean?
Water from the ocean gets evaporated into the atmosphere, forming clouds. but clouds move so when it rains, if a cloud that was previously over an ocean is now over a landmass, the rain is water from the ocean.
What happens when the water reaches the poles?
it gets cold and freezes
What usually happens when water reaches the poles to the conveyor belt model?
The salinity of the water increases. Nova net
If a mass of ocean water is cold and salty what will it where on earth's surface is this event common?
the salt will sink to the ocean floor and it happens at the poles.
What carries water toward the poles?
Ocean currents.
What carries warm water the poles?
Ocean currents.
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles APEX
Why is ocean water near the equator warmer than ocean water at the poles?
The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
How does an ocean waves change when it reaches shallow water?
A ocean wave changes when it reaches the shallow water because it washes away the land which is not onshore.
Is the ocean water near the poles less salty?
yes
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
How does the ocean waves change when it reaches shallow water?
The ocean wave will get smaller when it reaches shallow water. Waves will always be higher and faster when traveling through deep waters.
What happens to the cold air and water at the poles?
Mamadas!!!
