Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
An increase in ocean temperatures can cause?
Melting of sea ice, bleaching of corals, migration of marine species, changes in ocean currents
Which way do density currents move?
gravity on masses of seawater that are denser than surrrounding water causeing the denser water to sink .density currents slowly circulate deep ocean water.cool current from the western coast originate far from the equator , warm currents along eastern coast begin near the equator ,differences in temperature an salinity between water masses in the ocean setup circulate called density currents
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What do the ocean currents transport?
Ocean currents will carry anything from small plankton accross ocean to helping other marine life find warmer or colder waters. to ocean currents can also help guide ships across bodies of water. the ocean currents will also redistribute the density in the ocean water.
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What has the author B S Jenkins written?
B. S. Jenkins has written: 'Density currents and turbidity currents in waste disposal in the ocean' -- subject(s): Waste disposal in the ocean, Seawater, Turbidity, Density currents, Density
What are deep ocean currents are caused?
water density
How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
Do Density currents flow deep down in the ocean?
Yes.
How does the density of water affect deep currents?
im thinking that the ocean water would be more heavy than the ocean currents
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
What is the cause of oceanic currents?
Ocean currents are caused by various factors. They are made from earthquakes, winds, tides and differences in density. The currents of the ocean have an effect on the weather.
Why are the earth's winds and ocean currents important to life on the planet?
There are many different forces that create ocean currents. Among them are: the earth's rotation, salinity differences, wind, density differences, and buoyant forces. Temperature differences can create some of these differences, but we would have ocean currents even if the oceans were a uniform temperature.
How could ocean currents affect microscopic marine life?
it affects everything
How does the density of ocean water drive the movement of deep ocean currents?
By forcing currents to go over or under other currents depending on the density of the current
