several different element are involve......first the tides are controlled by the moon, then the earths tilt and the speed of rotaion on its axis contolls how the oceans waters flow.....therefore the water is always flowing from the mountains into streams into rivers into bays then oceans. because the land is on higher elevation than the water, the ocean contionously splashes against the surface, and then is sucked back in by the flow if streams in the oces (aka known as rip tides) wind or imbalances in water temperature or possibly the moon affecting tides == The winds cause the typical waves that we see on the ocean's surfaces and that result in the crashing surf that we see at beaches. Tsunamis are not like typical waves; they start when earthquakes along the ocean floor displace huge amounts of ocean water, and this displacement radiates outward for thousands of miles. Wind-generated waves affect the surfaces of oceans (the first several meters at most) but tsunamis are entire columns of water, from floor to surface, and contain incredible amounts of energy deriving from the initial earthquakes that cause them.
What else can I help you with?
How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
What makes the continent and the ocean floor unstable?
The continents and ocean floor are unstable because the plates of the lithosphere move. When the plate move, they cause the continents and ocean floor to move.
Where do glaciers go after they move?
ocean
How does a subduction effect earth?
They move the ocean floor as if it were on a giant conveyor belt.
What makes an ocean wave wave?
An ocean wave is a disturbance on the surface of the ocean caused by energy transfer from wind. As the wind blows across the ocean, it creates ripples that develop into waves. The energy from the wind is transferred to the water, causing it to move in a circular motion, creating the characteristic rolling motion of waves.
How do ocean currents move?
they move beacsue the Mississippi river makes it
Does red algea move?
It does move,because of the ocean waves moving 24-7... It makes the red algae move.
How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
What happens to the old ocean floor as the sea floor spreads?
As the sea floor spreads, the old ocean floor gets pushed out, which makes the plates move.
What makes the continent and the ocean floor unstable?
The continents and ocean floor are unstable because the plates of the lithosphere move. When the plate move, they cause the continents and ocean floor to move.
How do ocean makes beaches?
a ocean and another ocean get together and make a baby ocean
