What else can I help you with?
Why is it so important to wear a jacket?
So you do not get cold which in turn means you are less likely to get sick.
The density of warm water is less than that of cold water true or false?
True... warm water is less dense than cold water.
Why is some ocean water clearer than some other ocean waters?
Less clear water has more algae and other nutrients. It is much more suitable for sustaining life. Clearer water has less nutrients, etc. and is less suitable for sustaining life.
Why do convection currents take place in the atmosphere?
cold air is less dense
How was Earth changed during your current era?
the climate has cooled and has became less humid
What does a cold ocean current mean less of in the air and less of something else?
A cold ocean current means less moisture is evaporated into the air, resulting in lower humidity levels. It also means less heat is transferred from the ocean to the atmosphere, leading to cooler air temperatures.
Why is the top layer of the ocean of the warmest?
Warm water is less dense than cold water.
Caused when dense seawater moves toward less dense seawater?
I think that it causes a deep ocean current.....
Why is it easyer to swim in the ocean than a pool?
When swimming in the ocean if you swim with the current it is easier. Most importantly the salt water increases your buoyancy creating less resistance.
Why is it so important to wear a jacket?
So you do not get cold which in turn means you are less likely to get sick.
What would happen if there was no cold current in the ocean next to the Atacama Desert?
If the Pacific Ocean were warmer in the area of the Atacama there would be higher evaporation rates and higher rainfall in the Atacama which would mean the desert would probably no longer be a desert. Another factor is that with warmer waters there would be less fish available for local fishermen to harvest.
What ocean current?
Deep ocean currents are created by differences in water density. Cold or salty water is more dense and sinks, whereas warm or less salty water is less dense and rises. In polar regions, much of the ocean water is tied up in ice sheets. The salt remains in the liquid water, so the water in these areas is very salty as well as very cold. This water is consequently very dense and sinks. It is replaced by water from lower latitudes. The deep, dense water then moves slowly across the ocean floor and eventually rises in warmer latitudes. These currents are connected, and are sometimes called the ocean "conveyor belt." One circuit can take 1000 years to complete0_O
What best describes the general temperature patterns of Alaska?
cold in the interior less cold along the northern shore of the arctic ocean and relatively mild along the southwester coast Wesley J. :)
Why does hot water produce less upthrust?
Hot water is less dense than cold water, which means it displaces less water and therefore produces less upthrust. The buoyant force of hot water is weaker compared to cold water because of its lower density.
What effects do currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
Why does Scandinavia have such a cold climate?
Scandinavia's cold climate is mainly due to its high latitude, which results in less direct sunlight and colder temperatures. The region is also influenced by the North Atlantic Current, which brings cold water from the Arctic and contributes to its climate. Additionally, the presence of large bodies of water surrounding Scandinavia further exacerbates its cold weather conditions.
Why do hurricanes happen in Florida but not in California even Thoough they are both facing water?
Due to the way ocean currents circulate the western part of an ocean basin is generally warmer than the eastern portion. Hurricanes need warm water to form. Florida, bordering the western Atlantic Ocean, is surrounded by the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, Gulf of Mexico, and Gulf Stream. Such warm waters easily support hurricane formation. By contrast California, on the eastern shore of the Pacific, is bordered by the Alaska Current. This cold ocean current hinders the convection that is necessary for hurricane formation.
