What factors control the movement of surface currents?
Air currents, earth's rotation and the location of the continents. <<< textbook source!
Is the vertical movement of air currents due to temperature variations?
What is the vertical movenment to air currents due to temperature variations?
A radiator heats a room by heating the air which circulates in convection currents?
Yeah you are right convection currents are movement of the air
How are currents that form in heated air similar to currents that form in heated water?
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
What are the basic 2 types currents?
You can have electrical currents, or currents in fluids such as water or air.
What is circular movement of air that causes land breezes?
Convection currents
How do surface currents transfer energy?
by convection
How does air movement affect the water?
Air movement can affect water in a few ways. First, strong winds can create waves and turbulence on the surface of the water, leading to increased mixing and movement. Second, wind can cause water to evaporate more rapidly, as it enhances the rate of evaporation. Finally, wind can also influence ocean currents by pushing water in a certain direction, resulting in the movement of water masses over long distances.
What traps oxygen from the atmosphere in the water for aniamals to breathe?
Oxygen is dissolved in water. Some things such as water movement and air currents/ wind aid in the mixing process. Also, aquatic plants release oxygen into the water.
What creates the currents of air?
Air currents are caused by the sun's uneven heating of the earth, Water Currents (mostly known as Ocean Currents) are generated by wind, density differs in water masses causes by temperature and salinity variations,gravity, and also events such as earthquakes
Do air currents help distribute water?
Yes
What is transfer of heat by currents of air or water?
convection
