Why do surface currents move a lot of heat?

Surface currents move a lot of heat because they transport warm water from the equator towards the poles and cold water from the poles towards the equator. This helps distribute heat around the Earth, regulating temperatures and influencing weather patterns.


Which type is defined as all the water on under and around the earth?

The type is known as hydrosphere. It includes all the water on, under, and around the Earth, such as oceans, rivers, lakes, groundwater, and atmospheric water vapor.


How many percent water on earth?

What is the name for the ways earth materials are moved around on the surface?

The movement of Earth materials on the surface is known as erosion. This process can involve the transportation of soil, rock, or sediment by wind, water, ice, or gravity. Erosion plays a key role in shaping the Earth's landscape over time.


Why do Earth's continents change shape and move around the planet?

Earth's continents change shape and move around due to the process of plate tectonics. The Earth's outer shell is divided into several large plates that float on the semi-fluid layer beneath them. These plates constantly move, collide, and interact with each other, causing the continents to drift apart, collide, or shift positions over millions of years. This movement is driven by the heat generated from the Earth's core.
