How are gyres formed?
Gyresare huge areas found in the middle of the ocean. These are formed when ocean water stays in one place and does not circulate. The force of the Earth's wind patterns create ocean surface currents.
Which direction does wind and air pressure travel?
Wind is balancing of atmospheric pressure, the movement of air is in high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
Why do gases get bigger and spread out?
because every particle is moving in a random direction and a speed determined by temperature. these particles will continue moving in this direction until they hit another particle or wall, they will then rebound and travel the opposite direction thus causing pressure.
In what direction does heat travel through the soup?
Heat always travels from areas of higher temperature to areas of lower temperature. the surface and sides of a container of soup are generally at a lower temperature than the interior of the soup. Of course you may still get some additional heat transfer via convection if the surface is cooler than the soup deeper in the container.
Are maria a flat areas on the moons surface?
Yes it is
Do warm water surface currents create warm climates in coastal areas?
no
What land areas are mostly warmed and cooled by surface currents?
Its either inland areas coastal areas mt areas or the gulf stream
What is deep currents?
A deep current is found in the ocean when a temperature change occurs. This also has to do with the alignment of the sun and the moon.
What is target size in biology?
What are deep sea currents that are forced to the surface, bring nutrients and create rich fishing areas
What happens to the surface area of a cylinder if the height is doubled and the diameter of the base is not change?
The surface area of the 'wall' doubles, but the base areas remain the same.
Which are the areas of convergence of warm and cold currents?
Low pressure centers are the zones of convergence of warm and cold currents.
How do currents affect air temperature in coastal areas?
water
How does water erosion change the surface of the earth?
Its effects tend to lower higher elevations, and raise basin areas.
How are gyres formed?
Gyresare huge areas found in the middle of the ocean. These are formed when ocean water stays in one place and does not circulate. The force of the Earth's wind patterns create ocean surface currents.
Do The surface areas of the ocean have abundant nutrients?
The surface areas of the ocean have abundant nutrients.
What is the effect on coefficient of static friction when side length of a cube of 5 cm is doubled to original?
The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.The surface areas in contact do not affect the coefficient.
The height of a cone is doubled does this double the surface area?
When you change the linear size it changes the areas by the square and the volume of the cube.
