The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
How is the outer core layer affected by the energy in the earth's core?
The outer core layer is primarily composed of liquid iron and nickel and is crucial for generating Earth's magnetic field through the dynamo effect. The heat and energy from the inner core drive convection currents in the outer core, causing the molten metal to flow. This flow creates electric currents, which in turn generate magnetic fields. Consequently, the energy from the inner core plays a vital role in maintaining the dynamics and characteristics of the outer core.
Used indirectly when winds and ocean currents are used to do work?
solar energy
Waterfall is what kind of energy?
hydro thermal or gravitational hydro where the water is evaporated and the steam pushes a turbine that creates energy. gravitational where the water falling hits and turns a turbine that creates energy
Define surface ocean currents?
Materials and energy
How does the wind affect ocean currents?
Wind can impact ocean currents by transferring energy to the surface of the water, causing it to move in the direction of the wind. This creates surface currents that can influence the direction and speed of deeper ocean currents. Strong winds over a large area can lead to the formation of powerful currents, such as the Gulf Stream.

How does the sun provide energy for surface ocean currents?
The sun heats the water, causing cold / hot circulation, and evaporation. It also heats the air, causing wind, which also moves currents.

What is the primary mechanism which causes surface currents?
Surface currents are primarily caused by the wind. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean, it creates friction and imparts energy to the water, causing it to move in the same direction as the wind. Other factors, such as the Coriolis effect and differences in water density, can also influence the direction and strength of surface currents.
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 are surface currents powered by?
The sun causes currents in the ocean because it is warming the water in the ocean in the day while it is hot, and then in the night when the sun goes down, the ocean starts to cool. Since the air above the water is warmer than in the water, this causes the water to rise up to the warmth until it gets cooled by the night, or from rain. This is what created movement and currents in the ocean from the sun.
