What else can I help you with?
Is warming ocean water through water currents radiation?
No. Heat transfer through a liquid or gas by currents is convection.
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
What is a scientist who studies waves and ocean currents?
A Hydrologist studies the movement, distribution, and quality of water on Earth and an Oceanographer studies the ocean, either of whom might find themselves contributing to studies of waves and currents.
How are convection currents in the mantle and in the oceans similar How are they different?
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
Used indirectly when winds and ocean currents are used to do work?
solar energy
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What is a large wind driven surface currents that create circular movements in the ocean?
What is a large wind driven surface currents that create circular movements in the ocean?
Can the ocean currents create hydro power?
possibly...
Currents are caused by temperature and density differences?
Currents in the ocean are primarily driven by a combination of wind, temperature, and density differences. Wind helps generate surface currents, while temperature and density variances, such as those caused by differences in salinity, contribute to deeper ocean currents like thermohaline circulation. These factors work together to create complex patterns of ocean currents that help circulate heat and nutrients around the globe.
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.
How do ocean currents get warm or cold?
if its by the equator or the two poles, its gonna be cold water currents. hope this helps :)
Why are the earth's winds and ocean currents important to life on the planet?
There are many different forces that create ocean currents. Among them are: the earth's rotation, salinity differences, wind, density differences, and buoyant forces. Temperature differences can create some of these differences, but we would have ocean currents even if the oceans were a uniform temperature.
How does the shape of the continent affect ocean currents?
The shape of a continent can influence ocean currents by directing their flow. For example, a narrow passage between two landmasses can funnel and accelerate ocean currents, while a broad continental shelf can slow down and disperse currents. Additionally, the presence of peninsulas, bays, and capes can create eddies and turbulence in ocean currents.
Why does freezing ocean water create fresh water?
Evaporates as the water is frozen.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
How do the mantle's convection currents move to form a mid-ocean ridge?
The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.
When ocean currents combine they create an area of rotating currents called a(n?
When ocean currents combine, they create an area of rotating currents known as a gyre. These large systems of rotating ocean currents are influenced by the Earth's rotation, wind patterns, and the configuration of coastlines. Gyres play a significant role in regulating climate, distributing heat, and affecting marine ecosystems. Each major ocean is home to its own gyre, including the North Atlantic Gyre and the North Pacific Gyre.
