What is the temperature of ocean currents off Canada's west coast?
The temperature of ocean currents off Canada's west coast is about 4-10 degree.
Is garbage in the ocean a cause of global warming?
Yes, because you are dumping harmful things for animals into the ocean.
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
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.
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.
What ocean current causes warming?
up currents
What is it called when the sun transfers heat to the earth?
The sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation - solar radiation.
What will happen to the ocean currents as a result of global warming?
The warming of the planet may change the paths and movements of the ocean currents. If the Gulf Stream, for example, stops, then Britain will become much colder.
What melts the Antarctic?
Warming temperatures and ocean currents melts the Antarctic.
How do currents heat in the ocean?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current
Does global warming effect the land or the ocean more?
The ocean is in more danger than the land is as ocean currents control most of the land temperatures, so the ocean is effecting gobal warming more.
Why do deep ocean currents occur?
My best guess is that they occur because of warming and cooling of the surface temperature. I am sure there is a pattern of these deep ocean currents to and from the equator and the poles.
How do convection currents transfer heat from the ocean to land?
by conduction radiation and convectoin
What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate?
ocean currents transfer energy and climate through the sun and the ocean tide. they also transfer heat and oxygen through water currents.
How is most energy transferred through the ocean?
Through currents and winds that propel energy
What causes currents on the ocean?
Surface currents in the ocean are the continuous movements of water found at the surface to just a few feet below, these currents are generated by the planet's prevailing winds-which are a direct result of the Sun's radiation and Earth's rotation.
What acts like a giant thermostat warming the Poles cooling the tropics and regulating the climate of your planet?
The ocean currents
