Where does an ocean wave get its energy directly from?
It doesn't come all from one source. The energy come from wind, earth's rotation and ocean currents
What is the primary source of energy for ocean currents and waves?
Ocean currents at the SURFACE -- their primary cause is SOLAR ENERGY. Due to solar energy, much of the wind pattern originates and this wind pattern in turn causes ocean currents on the surface.
Where does the energy that drives surface currents come from?
Wind
What are energy resources that come from the ocean?
The main ones are oil and gas. You also can find wind currents nerby, wind motors can be used there.Lately invented generators can use the energy of the waves to charge batteries.
What source of energy causes these oceans currents?
The immediate source of most energy moving ocean currents is wind. The ultimate source of this energy is the sun.
Is heat energy redistributed globally?
Solar radiation (heat energy) is redistributed globally by wind and ocean currents.
How are ocean currents like wind currents?
they are both currents.
What are some energy resources that come from the ocean?
The main ones are oil and gas. You also can find wind currents nerby, wind motors can be used there.Lately invented generators can use the energy of the waves to charge batteries.
Are ocean currents similar to wind currents?
Yes.
Do ocean waters and winds help to distribute the suns heat?
Wind and ocean currents are both produced by the Earth's unequal heating. This leads to the conclusion that the Sun is the main component in wind currents and ocean currents, because the Sun is what heats the Earth.
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
What is the major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean?
the primary source of ocean currents is the sun but other direct energy sources are1. global wind patternsa. trade windsb. the westerly winds*wind is the cause of surface currents in the oceans.
