the warm gulf stream current
Ocean currents do not directly affect Las Vegas, as it is located inland and far from any major bodies of water. However, changes in ocean currents can influence weather patterns that may indirectly impact weather conditions in Las Vegas.
The answer is from earth.rice.edu/MTPE/hydro/hydrosphere/topics/Ocean_Atm_Circ_ElNino.html Ocean temperatures and winds are coupled into a complex interactive system. Varying ocean temperatures affect local atmospheric pressure, which creates regional wind patterns that, in turn, drive oceanic currents that affect surface ocean temperatures. This movie illuminates how these processes interact to produce our climate system. In a way, the oceans absorb the suns solar rays, then the currents shift the heat around the globe warming the land during winter & cooling them during the summer.
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
weather currents would effect tugboats because the water would reel it in and the boat would not be able to move.
Ocean currents affect climate because they are able to change the temperature of the shores where the currents move to. Warm currents are able to prevent ice formation on some shores and beach lines. This gives the area relatively warmer temperatures throughout the year. The Gulf Stream (a warm current from Mexico to Europe) keeps Western Europe much warmer than the corresponding latitudes in North America. Ocean currents can have a great affect on the neighboring regions. These currents bring temperature and weather changes to these areas. Deep ocean currents changes the temperature and salinity. With the temperature changing, it affects climate.
Yes ocean currents do affect japan.
deep ocean currents.
It is easier and faster for ships to sail with the ocean currents.
new york doesnt have ocean currents
my pool =)
It doesn't.
ocean currents
no
ocean currents
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
i think your words are flipped. You may mean "How does the Atlantic ocean affect the climate?" If that is your question, the ocean currents have a major impact on the climate of some countries because the temperature of the ocean current can affect the surrounding regions. You should look into ocean currents.
im thinking that the ocean water would be more heavy than the ocean currents
