- Thermal Expansion and Contraction
- Density Differences
- Wind
Secondary Ocean Forces - Forces that influence the direction and nature of flow.

What else can I help you with?
What is swaying couples in locomotives?
It is the couple which tends to make the leading wheels sway from side to side, produced due to separation of unbalanced primary forces along the line of stroke by some distance.
Water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces?
Yes, water beads up on wax paper because its cohesive forces are greater than the adhesive forces.
Analysis of forces on horizontal milling machine?
how to calculate forces on coulmn of horizontal milling machine?
How do you use constructive forces in a sentence?
Some constructive forces had come together to help the situation. If the government could help the constructive forces, things would get better for the people.
What are the advantages and disadvantages between post tensioned slab and pre tensioned slab?
post tension: the forces considered as outer force since pre tension forces are internal forces.
What forces are responsible for tidal currents and are they predicable?
The forces that are responsible are Horizontal Surface Currents. They can be unpredictable.
Is an archipelago a primary or secondary force?
an archipelago was created by internal forces
Which forces responsible for earths crust and lithosphere floating on the mantle?
convection currents in the upper mantle
What is the definition of primary and secondary stress bearing areas?
primary stress bearing areas are the areas to which the forces acting are pendicular
How do primary and secondary landforms differ?
Primary landforms are natural features created directly by geological processes such as volcanoes or faulting, while secondary landforms are those modified by weathering, erosion, or human activities. Primary landforms retain their original shape and structure, while secondary landforms reflect changes over time due to external forces.
What forces are responsible for ocean current?
Ocean currents are primarily driven by a combination of wind, temperature, salinity differences, Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), and underwater topography like continental boundaries and mountains. These forces interact to create the complex patterns of currents we observe in the oceans.
What does not act as agent for eroding rock and transporting sediment?
Agents for erosion and transporting sediments include gravity, wind, water (including currents), or ice. Other forces in nature do not act in the same way, for example, lava.
What two forces did wegener suggest were responsible for the movement of the contenents?
Wegener proposed two forces for the movement of continents: gravitational pull caused by the Earth's rotation, and the force generated by the mantle convection currents beneath the Earth's crust.
The driving forces of tectonic plates are related to convection currents in Earth's?
mantle.
Who is responsible for amphibious training of all forces?
The US marine Corps is responsible for the amphibious training of all forces.
Who is responsible for the amphibious training of all forces?
The US marine Corps is responsible for the amphibious training of all forces.
What 3 forces possibly move tectonic plates?
convection currents
