Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
How does the unequal heating of Earth's surface affect the ocean currents?
It affects ocean currents because the sun hits the equator directly unlike towards the poles where they get less sun because they are farther away.
Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring what waters?
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring warm waters.
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
What are surface curents?
ocean currents that lead away from the equator. Examples: Gulf Stream and Brazil Current
How does the unequal heating of Earth's surface affect the ocean currents?
It affects ocean currents because the sun hits the equator directly unlike towards the poles where they get less sun because they are farther away.
Do water temperatures tend to cool off as you move away from the equator?
Yes, but remember certain ocean currents carry warm water from the equator to cooler regions and vice versa. Convection currents create chaos. XD
What does the ocean move away from the equator?
..,.
Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
How are a place and a region alike?
Many, many things. To name a few.. The locations proximity to the ocean, its elevation, and its proximity to the equator. Those lands that are at low elevations, close to the equator and the ocean tend to have a wetter and warmer climate. While those that are at higher elevations away from the ocean and equator tend to be cooler and drier.Latitude, terrain, and altitude determines a climate.ocean currents, mountains, elevation, and latitude
