surface currents curve because the waves of an ocean bushes the sand. it mostly depends on the weather if its hot waves are known ed to be smooth, but if is bad weather like thunder or rain the waves will move faster so the currents cant handle the strength so it moves so it upper level curves leaving the sure to move closer to land.

Are wind-driven currents near the surface or in the deep waters?
Vertically
What is the curve of the top surface of water in a graduated a graduated cylinder called?
Adhesion is responsible for the surface of the water in a graduated cylinder that is slightly curved at the sides.
What is the measure at the bottom of curved surface of water?
The meniscus is the name for the way that water forms a concave curve at it's surface. This is because of the cohesive and capillary properties of water.
What are diverging currents?
Diverging currents are currents that are deviating and usually take place to ocean currents. This will be marked by an inconsistent airflow pattern of the currents.
What is the bottom of the curve of liquid in a graduated cylinder?
Since the surface of water rises up to the sides of the cylinder, the low point is in the center of the surface. (Volume is assumed unless boiling or melting points are stated)
Do Southern Hemisphere surface currents curve to the left?
true
The Coriolis effect causes surface ocean currents to?
bend and curve
What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?
Coriolis effect
Surface ocean currents curve to the right in the Northern Hemisphere because?
of the Coriolis effect, which is caused by the Earth's rotation. As water moves northward, the Coriolis effect deflects the currents to the right. This results in clockwise circulation patterns in the Northern Hemisphere.
How do winds create currents?
Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and currents in the southern hemisphere curve to the left.Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines.
What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?
The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
Is it true or false that in the northern hemisphere surface currents curve to the left?
False. In the northern hemisphere, surface currents generally curve to the right due to the Coriolis effect. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere.
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz
What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.
