What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
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 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 an imaginary line geographers draw southern hemisphere eastern hemisphere equator ocean currents?
Equator

Water
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
Why ocean currents that originate near equator is warm?
As the equator is warm, the currents that originate from there are also warm.
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.
Which of these would be indications that a given mountain range was not formed by subduction?
It is not along an ocean coastline. There are no volcanoes.
Why there are more coastal deserts along the western coasts?
Ocean and wind currents above the equator flow in a clockwise pattern, while those south of the equator flow in a counterclockwise pattern. But all the winds and currents meet at the equator and flow east to west forming the trade winds and equatorial 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.
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring what waters?
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring warm waters.
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
Ocean currents flow from east to west near the?
Equator due to the trade winds pushing the surface waters westward. This creates the Equatorial Counter Current, which flows eastward at the surface.
What is true about ocean currents moving toward the equator?
It is cold..
