What effects does the surface-wind pattern have on the circulation of the oceans?
The movement of wind over the surface of the ocean causes friction. The wind drags the ocean surface with it, making the pattern called surface-ocean wind-drift currents.
What causes an earthquake and what negative effects can it have on the environment?
Movement of the Tectonic plates below the surface of the earth causes earthquakes. Negative effects of earthquakes are- 1 It causes a great damage to life and property. 2 It sometimes causes Tsunami also.
What causes density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
What causes the convection currents in the asthenosphere?
The convection currents running through the asthenosphere are widely believed to be the source of movement of the tectonic plates.
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
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.
What causes surface currents to move?
Randomism .
What effects does the surface-wind pattern have on the circulation of the oceans?
The movement of wind over the surface of the ocean causes friction. The wind drags the ocean surface with it, making the pattern called surface-ocean wind-drift currents.
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
What causes surface and deep currents?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
What factor causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different locations?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
What causes ocean surface currents?
A surface current is a current caused by wind direction
What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
What causes deep ocean surface currents?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
What causes the patterns of surface currents in the ocean?
The Earth rotating and its tilt of the axis forms the oceans' tides and currents.
A force between the ocean and the wind causes what type surface currents?
friction
