How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
How do plates move where convection currents are risig?
The lithosphere is the continental crust, oceanic crust and upper part of the mantle. The convection currents move in the mantle mostly in the Asthenosphere layer under the lithosphere. As the convention currents move it makes the lithosphere spread and shake.
What effect does convection currents in the upper mantle have on the crust?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
What are the two causes of ocean currents?
The heating of the ocean surface by the sun is the PRIMARY source of energy that drives the ocean currents. How and where they move is dependent on the spinning of the earth, wind patterns and the positions of the continents and oceans and the cool polar areas. In effect the ocean current transfer (solar) heat form the tropics to the poles and even out the temperature variations across the planet. winds, gravity, and water density are factors that move ocean currents.
How can something as large and heavy as a whole continent move around?
tectonic plates move by convection currents. Convection currents are currents that start by hot air rising and eventually turning cooler then lowers. This continues in a constant pattern like a week.
How do ocean currents move?
they move beacsue the Mississippi river makes it
How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
How currents move in the different hemispheres?
North and south poles cause the clockwise rotation that then makes currents which come toward the land and the "repel" away
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
The layer in which convection currents move?
Convection currents move in the Mantle.
What makes the plate move?
Plates move because of the intense heat in the Earth's core. The heat causes molten rock in the mantle layer to move.
What direction do convection currents-move?
Convection currents move in upward direction
The deep water currents makes up what?
The deep water currents makes up what?
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz
Why do currents move in a circular patterns?
Currents move in a circular patteren because of the strong wind on planet earth.
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
What makes a tectonic plate move what layer makes up this plate?
Tectonic plates are part of the Earth's crust. They move because they float on top of the Earth's mantle, which is a layer of hot liquid rock, and there are currents in the mantle which exert force on the crust.
