Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Do currents in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise?
Yes, in the northern hemisphere the currents flow clockwise.
What is the definition of warm currents?
currents that flow away
What happens if a conventional flow and a electron flow meet?
What do you mean with "meet"? Conventional flow and electron flow are not two types of currents. They are two ways to analyze the SAME currents.
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 that flow horizontally are driven by?
Currents that flow horizontally are most commonly driven by wind. Ocean currents flow over incredibly long distances and come together to create what is known as the "global conveyor belt."
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.
Difference between cold and warm currents?
Warm currents are warm whereas cold currents are cold. Warm currents flow from the equatorial regions towards the polar regions whereas cold currents flow from the polar regions to the equatorial regions. By- Avyukt Sharma
What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore?
Longshore currents
