How do warm and cool ocean currents form?
Warm ocean currents form when ocean water near the equator gets heated and flows towards the poles. Cool ocean currents form when cold polar water sinks and flows towards the equator. These currents are driven by differences in water temperature, salinity, and wind patterns.
Do tropical fish live in warm or cold water?
they live in warm water because tropical areas are warm
What causes warm water to flow to the poless?
Warm water flows towards the poles due to a combination of factors, including wind patterns, currents, and Earth's rotation. As warm water moves towards the poles, it cools and becomes denser, eventually sinking and circulating back towards the equator in a global pattern known as thermohaline circulation. This process helps distribute heat around the world's oceans.
Is well water good for tropical fish tank?
no tropical fish need warm water
What is unusual pattern occurs during el nino?
The pressure gradient decreases. The trade winds weaken, or even blow backwards.
Where do cold water currents begin?
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
What is the warm current that flows across the Atlantic towards Europe called?
It is the Gulf Stream.
Do tropical storms blow towards or away from the EquatorWhy are they called 'tropical' storms?
Tropical storms generally move away from the equator, though the direction of travel varies. They are called tropical storms because the form in or near the tropics over warm ocean water and have tropical characteristics such as a warm core whereas extratropical systems (outside the tropics) generally have a cold core.
Why tropical storms have their origin in the tropics?
Tropical storms need warm ocean water to form. Outside the tropics the water usually isn't warm enough.
Why does warm water flow away from the equator?
Warm water flows away from the equator due to Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect. As the warm water moves towards the poles, it gets deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, creating ocean currents that transport heat around the globe.
Do heated molecules go towards the cold ones?
Yes, heat flows from warm to cold
Are tropical regions waters cold?
no tropical water means the fish are found in tropical regions which means the water is warm - 21-28 Cece's
