What kind of currents are caused by saltier heavier water sinking and less salty water rising?
Deep. nova netThe currents caused by something like saltier water sinking and less salty water rising are called density currents.
What determines the density and specific gravity of a mineral?
The density and specific gravity of a mineral is caused by the arrangement of atoms in the crystalline structure and the elements of which the mineral is composed.
Upwelling and downwelling?
Upwelling is caused by currents on the surface. When water moves from the bottom of the ocean towards the surface it is called upwelling. Downwelling is when more dense water sinks. This process moves nutrients back to the deep part of the ocean.
What drives ocean currents?
wind
What force provides the energy for the erosion caused by running water?
1. Wind. 2. Water. 3. Ice/glacier. 4. Waves. 5. Gravity. 6. Tides/ocean current.
What type of currents are caused by the moon's gravity?
Tidal Currents are caused by the gravity of the Moon.
The pull of what gravity on seawater cause tidal currents?
Our moons gravity.
Is surface gravity caused by moons?
No of couse not u stupid
How are surface and deep currents caused?
Moves by the gravity of the moon.
What kind of water movements are caused by the Moon's gravity?
tidal currents
What cause moons gravity?
It causes the tides. Tides are also caused - to a lesser degree - by Sun's gravity.
Currents that are caused by the Moon's gravity are called?
They are called high tides and low tides!
What is wave and tide?
Well for those of u who must know, waves are ocean currents created by wind. Tides are ocean currents created from the push and the pull of the sun and the moons gravity.
Why are currents formed?
Gravity for two reasons * The water moves from a higher region to a lower one (mostly for rivers) * The moons gravity causes high a low tide, this pull the water up then drop it causing the water to stir around in currents (this is mostly for oceans)
Do all of the moons not have gravity?
Everything has gravity, the bigger it is the more it has. Moons DO have gravity, but it might be less than Earth's.
Is it true that tides are caused by the moons gravitational pull?
Yes, though the sun's gravity also plays a large part.
Does the moons gravity affect the ocean?
Yes, the moons gravity effects when the tide comes in and goes out.
