Deep currents are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. Deep currents occur when the cold, dense water from the poles sinks below warmer, less sense ocean water and flows towards the equator.

Oceans contain streamlike movements of water known as?
ocean currents
The rising of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface water is called?
Streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface are called surface currents. So logically, a deep current are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor.

Streamlike movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean are called?
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
What is a movement of ocean water that forms far below the surface of the ocean called?
The water that forms far below the surface is called a Deep Current.
What are the two types of ocean currents?
deep currents streamlike movement of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. surface current can influence the climate of land are they flow past.
What are streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean called?

What is deep currents?
A deep current is found in the ocean when a temperature change occurs. This also has to do with the alignment of the sun and the moon.

What is the most movement of water on the ocean's surface?
Surface Currents.
What is the movement of water from the deep ocean to the surface?
Conveyor Belt Cycling describes the movement of the ocean water between surface and deep water.
