How does water temperature differences create deep water currents?
Deep-ocean currents are affected by wind, temperature and earths rotation.
What are 3 things that affect surface ocean currents?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
What are currents What are currents?
Current relays are the relay which sens the current passing in particular circuit and operates when this current exceed its set value.
What effects do deeps currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What are currents that are caused by differences in water density most often the result of?
differences in temperature and salinity.
What are the factors affecting current?
Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in saltiness or water temperature.
What are deep ocean currents caused by?
global winds and differences in temperature and salinity.
How does water temperature differences create deep water currents?
Deep-ocean currents are affected by wind, temperature and earths rotation.
What creates the currents of air?
Air currents are caused by the sun's uneven heating of the earth, Water Currents (mostly known as Ocean Currents) are generated by wind, density differs in water masses causes by temperature and salinity variations,gravity, and also events such as earthquakes
Which current is caused by temperature differences in the water?
Density Current
What forces and factors affect the direction of the ocean current?
Deep ocean currents are caused by differences in saltiness or water temperature.
What drives deep ocean currents are driven?
Deep ocean circulation(90% of ocean water) is caused by differences in temperature, salinity and suspended load. It is referred to as "Thermohaline"- meaning heat and salt- circulation.
How do temperature and salinity different produce convection currents?
The large amount of solids dissolved in ocean water, which is the salinity, makes it more dense than fresh water. Cold water is denser than warm water (temperature). These differences in density produce convection currents
The gulf stream is a massive thermal current that has been caused by in the water?
Temperature Differences.
How do surface currents differ from density currents?
The same thing! Deep Currents Occur when the density of the water increases. Density is based on two main things it is the civility is how much salt and other solids are in it and it is also the temperature of the water.The lower the temperature the lower the dense the water becomes. The denser the water the more it was to go down. The less dense the water wants to rise. The temperature is what causes the dense. Deep current:A streamline movement of ocean water far below the surface.
What is the direct cause of surface currents?
The correct answer is differences in temperature *and* differences in salinity between the tropic and polar regions. However in the tropic regions the currents are started by the prevailing winds. And in the polar region the more saline and therefore, denser waters in the current sink to the bottom, which of course is caused by gravity.
