surface currents curve because the waves of an ocean bushes the sand. it mostly depends on the weather if its hot waves are known ed to be smooth, but if is bad weather like thunder or rain the waves will move faster so the currents cant handle the strength so it moves so it upper level curves leaving the sure to move closer to land.

Do Southern Hemisphere surface currents curve to the left?

true


What causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere?

The Coriolis effect causes surface ocean currents to curve to the right in the northern hemisphere. This effect is a result of the Earth's rotation, which deflects moving objects to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.


How do winds create currents?

Ocean currents in the northern hemisphere curve to the right and currents in the southern hemisphere curve to the left.Because the Earth rotates, currents do not travel in straightlines.


What causes global winds and currents to curve in a circular pattern?

The curved paths of global winds and surface currents are caused by warm air near the equator.


Are density currents faster than surface currents?

no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)


Is it true or false that in the northern hemisphere surface currents curve to the left?

The large ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere tend to curve to the right.as you travel with the current. This is subject to considerable local variation (the Alaskan Current and the Norwegian Current both curve left, for example), so you can't be certain that at any particular point it will be true... but if you had to make a guess, "to the right" is more likely to be correct.


What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?

Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.

What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?

Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.
