Spring and neap currents are influenced by the alignment of the Earth, moon, and sun, affecting tidal ranges. Spring tides occur during full and new moons when tidal ranges are at their maximum, resulting in stronger currents. Perigean currents happen when the moon is closest to Earth (perigee), which can enhance tidal effects, while apogean currents occur when the moon is farthest from Earth (apogee), leading to weaker tidal influences. Thus, the primary difference lies in the moon's position and its impact on tidal strength and current intensity.

What is a band of fast winds formed by different temperatures between convection currents?
A band of very fast wind that is formed by the different temperatures between huge convection currents is called a jet stream. Jet streams are narrowÊand they flow fast.
What cause currents to flow between the poles of the equator?
warm-water
When surface currents meet continents the currents deflect or change directiontrue or flase?
True. When surface currents encounter continents, they are deflected or change direction due to the landmass's obstruction. This phenomenon can lead to the formation of boundary currents and can influence local climate and marine ecosystems. The interaction between currents and continental margins is a key aspect of ocean circulation.
Is it true or false that ocean temperatures and currents have major effects on world climates?
This is true. We have just learned about this in are physical science class. The way the current moves through the ocean can cause different temperatures at different places. hope i could help
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.
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.
How friction is involved in the process of creating currents?
Actually charges could be created by rubbing two different insulating bodies resulting in charges at rest.These type of charges come under Electrostatics which can be also called as Frictional electricity.
What does cultural cross currents mean?
Cultural cross currents refer to the exchange or blending of ideas, practices, or values between different cultures. It often occurs when people from different cultural backgrounds interact and influence each other, leading to the creation of new cultural expressions or identities.
What is a band of fast winds formed by different temperatures between convection currents?

The wind stirs up currents?
Surface
What happens when unequal voltage ratios of transformers used in parallel operation of transformers?
You cannot connect transformers of different voltage in parallel. This is because circulating currents will be set up between the two transformers that may exceed their rated currents.
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Currents powered by wind are called wind-driven currents or wind-driven circulation. These currents are created by the friction between the wind and the surface of the water, causing the water to move in the direction of the wind.
What is the difference between deep ocean currents and surface 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.
What enabled easy trade between New England and the Caribbean?
A. Favorable ocean currents
How do waves currents tides and storms affect geological features?
The crashing waves can change everything in the ocean floor also everything in the types can be different from everything. Tides can be different from different types of things due to the currents ocean waves and tide. Tides can be very different and everything can be very unchanged and it can be hard to determine. The difference between the storms can be different between every type of storms. The harbors can be different for all different types of everything. Waves and currents, driven by tides and storms, remove sediment from one area and deposits it in another area. Beaches and barrier islands are formed by deposition. Inlets and harbors are formed by erosion.
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.
