How does gravity make something move across the surface of earth?
the pull of earth's gravity makes any objects fall to the ground.As the moon goes around earth, its gravity pulls on earth causing water in the oceans to move toward the moon.Earths gravity also pulls on the moon.
What are the two kinds of ocean currents and how do the form?
if you beat your meat really fast.
Why evaporation is considered as a surface phenomenon?
Evapouration is called a surface phenomenon because as we put water in the presence of sunlight with duration in time the temperature starts increasing and the hydrogen bonds of H2O from the surface starts breaking and the dissociated molecules move upward (lighter in nature) and therfore evapouration takes place from the surface but not inside.
How water move through the hydrosphere?
Rain and water cause water to move throughout the hydrosphere.
How does the ocean act like a sink for carbon dioxide?
Atmospheric carbon dioxide dissolves in the water close to the surface of the ocean. As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases, therefore, so does the concentration of carbon dioxide in these surface waters. Most of the absorbed carbon is accommodated by chemical reactions between the water and carbon dioxide . But this 'buffering' capacity has limits and - if this water remains at the surface - it eventually becomes saturated with carbon dioxide. Surface water and deep water, however, are slowly but constantly overturning in a cycle of about 1000 years. As the surface waters move downwards - a process that occurs mainly in the North Atlantic and Southern oceans - it carries dissolved carbon dioxide down with it. As a result, about 75 per cent of the carbon that has been absorbed by the ocean since human activities began releasing carbon dioxide now resides in deeper waters. Overall, therefore, this process has recently been working as an important sink for carbon produced by human activity. Such downward transport, however, is relatively slow, and so it is ocean circulation - and not dissolution of carbon dioxide in surface waters - that limits carbon dioxide uptake by the oceans. Furthermore, models of the movement of oceanic water masses predict that in a warmer climate the sinking of surface water, and hence burial of carbon dioxide, will slow down, reducing the future role of the ocean as a carbon sink. Another way that the oceans absorb carbon is through the action of microscopic marine plants. When these organisms die, their bodies sink into deeper water. Although most of the carbon in the organisms decomposes to carbon dioxide before reaching the ocean floor, it is prevented from escaping back to the atmosphere (at least, until the oceans turn over). This biological uptake of carbon will probably increase in future, as changes in sea surface temperatures and chemistry lead to an increase in the growth of algae. But it will not be enough, however, to compensate for the reduced downward transport of water and dissolved carbon, and hence is unlikely prevent the overall ocean sink diminishing in the future. Inedeed sinks will probably never lead to a decrease in atmospheric carbon dioxide whilst carbon dioxide emissions continue at their current level.

How does wind make water the ocean surface move?
oceans are the best place
The evaporation of water from the surface of the oceans would tend to make the surface more salty Where would this water move in a current?
The salt water would move upward because salt water is less dense than non-saltwater.
What do you call the circulation in ocean that brings deep cold water to the surface?
Ocean convection currents move the deep cold water to the surface of oceans.
What are the large bodies of ice that move across the Earth's surface called?
Glaciers are large bodies of ice and compacted snow that move across the Earth's surface. Icebergs are large bodies of compacted ice and snow in cold oceans, but the biggest mass sits below the water line. Icebergs do not move across the Earth's surface, but instead, the water's surface.
How does water move from land to oceans and seas?
it evaporates and then it condensate after that it rains in the oceans and seas.
How does water move the oceans and seas to the air?
by evaporation
What causes cold nutrientrich waters to move up to the oceans surface?
ocean fronts
What is the process called where gases move between oceans surface and the atmosphere?
its called get a life
What are streams of water within the oceans that move in regular patterns?
oceans current.............yep
How does evaporation and winds combine to move water from oceans to land?
Water vapors produced over oceans can be condensed over lands.
How does gravity make something move across the surface of earth?
the pull of earth's gravity makes any objects fall to the ground.As the moon goes around earth, its gravity pulls on earth causing water in the oceans to move toward the moon.Earths gravity also pulls on the moon.
How does the water move from Earth's surface to the atmosphere?
how did water from the earth's surface get into the atmosphere
