How do warm and cool ocean currents form?
Warm ocean currents form when ocean water near the equator gets heated and flows towards the poles. Cool ocean currents form when cold polar water sinks and flows towards the equator. These currents are driven by differences in water temperature, salinity, and wind patterns.
What type of boundary where mid ocean ridges form?
Mid-ocean ridges form at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement allows magma to rise from beneath the Earth's crust and create new oceanic crust at the ridge.
The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air form what?
The upward movement of warm air and the downward movement of cool air form convection currents. This process is a key factor in driving weather patterns and climate phenomena such as thunderstorms and ocean circulation.
Where would clouds and precipitation form in each type of occluded front?
In a warm occlusion, clouds and precipitation would form at the boundary where the warm air rises above the cooler air. In a cold occlusion, clouds and precipitation would form along the front where the advancing cold air lifts the warm air. In a stationary occlusion, clouds and precipitation would occur at the boundary between the cool and cold air masses that are not actively moving.
Do trenches occur where plates are moving apart?
Trenches form where plates are moving towards each other in a convergent plate boundary, not where they are moving apart. At divergent boundaries, such as mid-ocean ridges, plates are moving apart, creating new crust.

Which ocean did hurricane sandy form on?
Sandy formed in the Atlantic Ocean and gained strength moving North across the Caribbean Sea.
What happens to lava when it enters the ocean?
On contact with water lava will cool rapidly to form rock.
As rivers flow into the ocean and deposit thick layers of sediment on the ocean floor what will the crust under the sediment do?
the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock
What type of air mass would form over the northern Atlantic Ocean?
A maritime polar air mass would form over the northern Atlantic Ocean due to its maritime location and cold temperatures. This air mass would be cool, moist, and unstable, bringing cloudy conditions and precipitation to nearby coastal areas.
What causes small waves ripples to form on the ocean?
Ripples are formed by a friction of moving air and water.
How do the mantle's convection currents move to form a mid-ocean ridge?
The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.
Halite and calcite form by precipitation Where would they most likely form?
At the bottom of the sea or ocean
Mountain ranges at the bottom of the ocean are called?
Submarine mountain ranges at the bottom of the ocean are called oceanic ridges or mid-ocean ridges. These are underwater mountain ranges that form along plate boundaries where tectonic plates are diverging or moving apart.
Will making ocean water from hot to cold prevent a hurricane?
A hurricane will not form over cold ocean water, that is why hurricanes rarely form in the winter; the ocean is usually too cold. However, you cannot simply cool ocean water like that. The amount of energy stored in the water making it warm is enormous, to great for us to ever hope to manipulate.
Why do you use engine to keep the car moving?
With no engine or form of another form of propulsion the car would not move.
What type of boundary where mid ocean ridges form?
Mid-ocean ridges form at divergent plate boundaries, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other. This movement allows magma to rise from beneath the Earth's crust and create new oceanic crust at the ridge.
