What else can I help you with?
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
What factor causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different locations?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
What is the general motion of surface currents in south of the equator?
counter clockwise
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.
What effect does the earth's rotation have on surface currents?
It causes them to deviate (different directions north and south of the equator) leading to the Coriolis effect.
What direction do surface currents near the equator?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
What type of currents carry cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
Surface currents
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
What is the general motion of surface currents south of the equator?
Counter clockwise
What direction do most of the surface currents north of the equator move?
The current north of the equator moves clockwise.
What is the surface currents north of the equator are?
Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
What factor causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different locations?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
What type of currents are currents that involve warm water flowing in different directions at different speeds close to the top of oceans?
surface currents
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
How do surface currents transfer heat energy?
Surface currents transfer heat energy by redistributing warm water from the equator towards the poles and cold water from the poles towards the equator. This process helps regulate global temperature patterns and climate.
Blank currents are currents that involve warm water flowing in different directions at different speeds close to the top of oceans?
