Currents that are caused by the Moon's gravity are called?
They are called high tides and low tides!
Can a molten liquid have the strength to push giants slabs of earths crust?
Magma itself does not force the plates to move. Plate movement is caused by convection currents in the mantle because of intense heat from the Earth's core.
What are the three elements that make up the Earths magnetic field?
The Earth's magnetic field is principally the result of electric currents generated in the mantle by its heat causing movement of this mass. A minor perturbation of this may be caused by currents derived from the Solar Wind - the flow of charged particles from the Sun. And of course the residual magnetization of local rocks will also have some effect.
Why are the layers of the earth in constant motion?
It is because of the convection currents that occurs in the mantle. The heat in the mantle circulates (we know that hot air goes up and cold air goes down) so the plates in the Earth moves. The convection currents are caused by the very hot material at the deepest part of the mantle. The heat causes the land to rise while cooling results the land to sink.
What caused continental drift?
volcanos, mountains
What is the cause of the mid-latitude westerlies?
The mid-latitude westerlies is caused by flow patterns. This pattern is known to be strong.
What currents are currents caused by temperature?
wind
In which direction does the north pacific subtropical gyre rotate?
They are circular currents usually in the oceans but also in air, caused by the Coriolis effect.Alternatively they may follow the gimbles in the wabe, perhaps caused by the slithy toves themselves.
What type of currents are caused by the moon's gravity?
Tidal Currents are caused by the gravity of the Moon.
Are deep currents caused by differences in pressurre?
All currents are caused by differences in pressure.
What is the curving of winds and currents caused by earth rotation is called?
Curving of winds and currents caused by Earth's rotation is called surface currents.
What are some ways that ocean currents and wind are similar?
They are similar because if you think about it carefully, the ocean currents are caused by the air currents and the air currents are caused by the ocean currents, so, it is all a scientific cycle.
What currents are currents caused by temperature differences the water?
ocean currents are caused by difference in temperatures and salinity lol :) :P hehe
What are the causes of currents?
its caused by the moon
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
How are convection currents in the mantle and the convection currents in the ocean similar?
Mantle convection is the slow creeping motion of Earth's rocky mantle caused by convection currents carrying heat from the interior of the earth to the surface while convection current in ocean in; Solar radiation affects the oceans: warm water from the Equatortends to circulate toward the poles, while cold polar water heads towards the Equator. The surface currents are initially dictated by surface wind conditions. The trade winds blow westward in the tropics, and the westerlies blow eastward at mid-latitudes. This wind pattern applies a stress to the subtropical ocean surface with negative curl across the Northern Hemisphere, and the reverse across the Southern Hemisphere. The resulting Sverdrup transport is equator ward.Because of conservation of potential vorticity caused by the poleward-moving winds on the subtropical ridge's western periphery and the increased relative vorticity of poleward moving water, transport is balanced by a narrow, accelerating poleward current, which flows along the western boundary of the ocean basin, outweighing the effects of friction with the cold western boundary current which origniates from high latitudes
What are deep currents caused by?
water density
