the spin of the earth forces the water centrifugal force) to the equator in a bulge.. although it raises sea heights it does not make it more dense ...water cannot be compressed and made more dense

What carries warm water toward poles?
currents
What from the wind transfers to the water as the water moves toward land?
It might be moisture
What is downwelling?
The Coriolis Effect causes water to be pushed onto shore and when the water on the surface of the sea becomes denser than the water beneath it, it sinks.
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles APEX
Which is denser river water distilled water tap water or sea water?
Salt water is denser than fresh water
What carries water toward the poles?
Ocean currents.
What is the major factor for why you have ocean currents?
The sun. The sun heats the water at equator and this warm water wants to move to where the cold water is located at the poles. As the warm water moves toward the pole, the cold water moves from the pole to the equator to back fill the moving water. This sets up a loop of water that moves in a large loop on the globe.
When water gets denser how does it move?
I think it sinks toward the ocean floor.
What carries warm water toward poles?
currents
Cool dense air moves during the night from the land toward water as?
Cool, dense air moves during night from the land toward water as = the answer is LAND BREEZE
What from the wind transfers to the water as the water moves toward land?
It might be moisture
Why does warm water flow away from the equator?
Which property enables you to float a needle on water?
Surface tension.surface tension does
What type of currents carry cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
Surface currents
What circulation of ocean water occurs because?
The Gulf Stream circulates around the world, warming up different parts of the planet for different reasons. It's really important to our climate and without out we'd be uh..stuffed. :)
What type of current typically carries cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
sureface current
Air moving from land to water?
At night, land cools much more rapitly than ocean water. Air over the land becomes cooler than air over the ocean. Cooler, denser air above the land moves over the water, as the water rises. Movement if the air toward the water from the land is called land breeze.
