The Gulf of Mexico current, which travels from the Caribbean Sea at the Yucatan Channel, then north into Louisiana, then east towards Florida, then borders all Florida's coast an then flows out into the Atlantic Ocean.
What else can I help you with?
What is the definition of warm currents?
currents that flow away
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
What direction do surface currents near the equator?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Currents in the southern hemisphere flow what direction?
In the southern hemisphere, ocean currents flow clockwise due to the Coriolis effect.
How is an ocean current considered to be warm or cold?
Warm or cold defines the temperature of the water. In general warm currents flow north and cold currents flow south. That makes sense. Also warm currents flow on the surface and cold currents flow deep since cold water is denser than warm water.
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore called?
These currents are called LongShore or Feeder Currents.
In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to shore known as?
Currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore are known as longshore currents. These currents are generated by waves approaching the shore at an angle, creating a flow of water along the coastline. Longshore currents can significantly influence sediment transport and beach erosion, shaping coastal landscapes over time. They often interact with rip currents, which flow seaward and can pose hazards to swimmers.
What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore?
Longshore currents
In which hemisphere do currents flow clockwise?
Northern
What determines flow of heat?
Convection currents.
