In the "War of Currents" era (sometimes, "War of the Currents" or "Battle of Currents") in the late 1880s, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison became adversaries due to Edison's promotion of direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over alternating current (AC) advocated by Westinghouse and Nikola Tesla. resources: wikipedia
What else can I help you with?
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
How Do Deep Currents Form?
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
What is the difference between ocean current and rip current?
Ocean currents are currents that move across the globe from one temperature zone to another. Rip currents are localized currents caused by a combination of tides and waves agains the shore line where the water is shallow.
What are Poland's ocean currents?
Pland has heavy and very cold wind currents sometime they cause CRAZY!!!! Storms.
What enabled easy trade between New England and the Caribbean?
A. Favorable ocean currents
Who won the War of Currents?
niklola tesla
What years was the war of the currents?
It ended in 1893.
Are thermohaline currents surface or deep water currents?
deepwater currents
What are diverging currents?
Diverging currents are currents that are deviating and usually take place to ocean currents. This will be marked by an inconsistent airflow pattern of the currents.
What are circular currents called?
If you are referring to currents in iron cores, circular currents are called eddy currents.
When are man-of-war jellyfish active?
Since the man o' war has no means of propulsion, it is moved by a combination of winds, currents, and tides. Although it can be found anywhere in the open ocean
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What are the three types of ocean currents?
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
How do currents affect?
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What are the basic 2 types currents?
You can have electrical currents, or currents in fluids such as water or air.
Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
