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 precipitation in the air and less rainfall. Hope this helps!=)
Why is the top layer of the ocean of the warmest?
Warm water is less dense than cold water.
Is cold water more or less dense than warm water?
cold ocean waer has more dense than warm 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.
What effects do deeps 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.
Definition of Ocean Surface Currents?
well to be 100% honest, a surface current is basically a current on the surface. This particular current moves in a stream-like fashion on the surface of the ocean. A surface current can be short, wide, deep, or narrow.
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. :)
How does uneven heating cause ocean currents?
Hot water is less dense than cold water, gravity takes care of the rest.
