What are the three factors that from deep currents?
The three factors that help form deep currents are ...density,salinity,and tempature.
What effects do deeps currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
How does currents affect the coriolis effect?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
What currents are influences by the Coriolis effect?
Surface Currents
How does the calinity of water effect temperature and water currents?
Salinity, or saltiness, affects how readily the water changes temperatures as well as its density. Because of this, currents in the water can arise not only from the difference in temperature, but also from the density difference, which comes from the salinity itself.
What do surface currents effect?
For Apex A- The rotation of Earth on its Axis C - The differences in water density D- The temperature of Ocean Water
Do ocean currents effect temperature?
Yes, they do.
What has a effect on water density?
Density of a liquid is indirectly proportional to the temperature. When the temperature raises, the density of the liquid decreases. Therefor the temperature has an effect on water density.
What is the effect of temp on density?
An increase in temperature results in a decrease in density.
Does the temperature effect air density?
Of course it does.
What is the cause of oceanic currents?
Ocean currents are caused by various factors. They are made from earthquakes, winds, tides and differences in density. The currents of the ocean have an effect on the weather.
What are two things that effect density?
temperature and pressure
What are the three factors that from deep currents?
The three factors that help form deep currents are ...density,salinity,and tempature.
What two things effect the density of water?
Temperature and Salinity.
What has no effect on density?
time. temperature. candela. electric current.
What is the effect on the speed of light when temperatures rise in the medium?
When temperature rises, the density of the medium changes. Speed of light through a medium is inversely proportional to the density of medium. So when the temperature increases, the density decreases and the speed of light in that medium increases. Note that this is the indirect effect of temperature. If light is travelling through vaccuum , then the temperature will have no effect on the speed of light.
