What else can I help you with?
In what direction do cold currents generallly flow in the northern hemisphere?
East dummy
What regions of the globe do warm surface currents originate?
The equator.From there they flow to the North or South Poles in order to cool them.
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.
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.
How can mantle flow because its made of hot liquid magma?
Magma in the mantle moves in a current called a convection current. A convection current is a circular flow of a substance in which a hot substance rises, cools, sinks, gets hot again, and repeats. In this way, magma in the mantle flows in currents of more hot or more cool magma.
Do currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
Do currents flow faster at the pole or at the equator?
At the poles.
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
Wind currents flow faster at the poles than at the equator. This is due to the Coriolis effect, which causes the winds to be deflected as they move from high pressure to low pressure areas, creating stronger winds at higher latitudes. Additionally, temperature differences between the equator and the poles contribute to the strength of wind currents.
Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
Winds and currents flow faster at the equator compared to the poles. This is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation, which deflects winds and currents, making them stronger at the equator where the effect is minimized. At the poles, the Coriolis effect is strongest, resulting in slower winds and currents.
What direction do surface currents near the equator?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
In what direction do cold currents generally flow in the northern hemisphere?
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
Why there are more coastal deserts along the western coasts?
Ocean and wind currents above the equator flow in a clockwise pattern, while those south of the equator flow in a counterclockwise pattern. But all the winds and currents meet at the equator and flow east to west forming the trade winds and equatorial currents.
What cause currents to flow between the poles of the equator?
warm-water
