The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
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
How does the amount of heat energy reflected by a smooth dark-colored concrete surface compare with the amount of heat energy reflected by a smooth ligh-colored surface?
The dark coloured concrete surface absorbs more heat energy and therefore reflects less heat energy.
Define surface ocean currents?
Materials and energy
What are the steps for how the sun provides the energy for surface ocean 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
Where does the energy that drives surface currents come from?
Wind
What characteristic of a current is important in affecting climate?
the air in the atmosphere and the waters in our oceans circulate in known patterns in an effort to redistribute the energy. In the atmosphere, we end up with the prevailing wind bands in both hemispheres. In the oceans, we end up with both surface and deep water currents. It is the surface currents that have a marked effect on climate.
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
Which best describes the best way sunlight creates ocean currents?
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
