What forces and factors affect the direction of the ocean current?
Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in saltiness or water temperature.
Which process in the water cycle is caused by an increase in temperature?
Evaporation is the process in the water cycle caused by an increase in temperature.
What is an abiotic that affects a fresh water ecosystem?
temperature, current, and turbidity A+temperature, current, and turbidity
Land and water temperature changes cause differences in?
Air pressure
What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
The gulf stream is a massive thermal current that has been caused by in the water?
Temperature Differences.
What are the factors affecting current?
Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in saltiness or water temperature.
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
What are currents that are caused by differences in water density most often the result of?
differences in temperature and salinity.
What are deep ocean currents caused by?
global winds and differences in temperature and salinity.
What forces and factors affect the direction of the ocean current?
Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in saltiness or water temperature.
What is the weather cycle?
The weather cycle is a continuous cycle of air, water, and temperature the world over. The water cycle--evaporation, condensation, precipitation--is part of the cycle with pressure differences being caused by temperature changes.
How do ocean currents develop?
An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of ocean water generated by the forces acting upon the water, such as the wind, Coriolis force, temperature and differences and salinity tides caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun. Depth contours, shorelines configurations and interaction with other currents influence a current's direction and strength.
Which process in the water cycle is caused by an increase in temperature?
Evaporation is the process in the water cycle caused by an increase in temperature.
What is a tidal current?
The water current caused by the tides is a tidal current.
What is tidal current?
The water current caused by the tides is a tidal current.
What causes the direction of current flow?
I assume you are referring to oceanic currents (instead of electrical current). Oceanic current is divided into 2 types: Surface Ocean Current -- affected by wind. Deep Ocean Current --cause by water density (mineral rich vs clearer water) and temperature gradient (differences in heat)
