What else can I help you with?
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
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 ocean current causes warming?
up currents
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 is is thermal energy transferred in the hydrosphere?
Thermal energy is transferred in the hydrosphere through conduction, convection, and radiation. Conduction occurs when heat is transferred between water molecules through direct contact. Convection is the process by which heat is transferred through the movement of water, such as ocean currents. Radiation is the transfer of heat through electromagnetic waves, such as sunlight warming the surface of the ocean.
Are ocean currents convection radiation or conduction?
Ocean currents are primarily driven by a combination of convection and wind patterns. Convection currents are created by the temperature differences in the water, causing warm water to rise and cold water to sink. Wind patterns also influence the direction and strength of ocean currents. Radiation and conduction do not play significant roles in the formation of ocean currents.
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
What is the radiation of the ocean?
The radiation of the ocean refers to the absorption and reflection of sunlight by the water. The amount of radiation that penetrates the ocean's surface depends on factors like water depth, clarity, and angle of sunlight. This radiation is important for photosynthesis and warming the ocean.
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
Does global warming effect the land or the ocean more?
Global warming affects both land and ocean, but its impact is more pronounced on the ocean. Warmer temperatures can lead to sea level rise, ocean acidification, and changes in ocean currents, which can disrupt marine ecosystems and jeopardize marine species. The land also experiences effects like wildfires, droughts, and heatwaves due to global warming.
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.
