What changes direction when it meets a continent?

We know that ocean currents change direction when meeting a continent. The water must flow around the land, so it has to change direction to do that.


What causes currents to change direction?

Currents change direction due to factors such as wind patterns, temperature variations, tides, and the rotation of the Earth, known as the Coriolis effect. These factors can influence the movement of water masses, leading to shifts in current direction.


What direction do convection currents-move?

Convection currents move in upward direction


What characteristics of deep ocean currents affect their motion?

rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.


How does a continent affect surface current?

Continents can affect surface currents by causing them to deflect due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by Earth's rotation and causes surface currents to change direction as they flow around land masses. The shape and location of continents can also influence the direction and strength of surface currents by creating barriers or channels for the flow of ocean water.


Why do large land areas cause surface currents to change direction?

Large land areas can disrupt the flow of surface currents due to the friction they create with the water. As the water encounters the landmass, it is forced to change direction or split into different currents to navigate around the obstacle. This can lead to the redirection of surface currents along the coastline or the formation of eddies and gyres.


How surface currents formed?

wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).

What direction do surface currents move?

The surface currents move in a clockwise direction in the Northern hemisphere, and move in a counter clockwise direction in the Southern hemisphere! Hope it helped:)
