Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.

What causes ocean surface currents?

A surface current is a current caused by wind direction


What causes the ocean surface current direction?

i think wind is responsible for current


Could an increase in the wind cause a current to increase If so what type of current is it?

Wind speed affects the electrical output of windmills. Strong sustained winds often produce higher electrical outputs. In the United States, all major electrical grids operate on alternating current - so it is very likely that windmills produce AC power.


What causes skateboard speed to increase or decrease?

Gravity, friction, or wind drag.


What causes current flow?

Current flows due to gravity. Example is the water current on a river. Wind is also another factor that causes current to flow, just like ocean water.


What type of current flows in the opposite direction of wind related current?

oppositional currents


What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?

Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.

This type of power allows a sailboat to sail?

The wind is what causes a sailboat to sail.


Why does current change when voltage is increased?

If current increases, then voltage also has to increase, assuming that resistance stay relatively the same. Power will also increase. Since power is the product of voltage and current, then the power increase would be the square of the voltage or current change.


What type of current flows in the opposite direction of wind related currents?

oppositional currents
