Which characteristic of an ocean shows that they are in constant motion?
Ocean currents show that they are in constant motion. These currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation, causing water to circulate around the globe.
The medium of an ocean wave is?
Water
How does the water in an ocean wave move?
Simple harmonic motion (up and down around a point of equilibrium). Water waves that crash onto a beach are not particles that come from way out in sea because water particles move up and down in one place (unless they have an outside and constant force applied to them). Water particles at the top of the ocean have both transversal and longitudinal motion.
Each particle of water in an ocean wave moves in a what?
Circular motion. Each water particle in an ocean wave moves in a circular path as the energy from the wave passes through.
How do ocean waves get their energy and how is this energy transferred through the water?
Ocean waves get their energy from the wind, which creates friction on the surface of the water. This energy is transferred through the water by the movement of water particles in a circular motion, causing the waves to propagate and travel across the ocean.
How do sea anemones get air?
Their tendrils wave in the water and "filter feed" the oxygen out of the water. This means they need constant motion to stay alive much like barnacles which latch onto whales and other ocean life to have this constant motion.
How is a bay created?
A Bay is created when water from the ocean is in constant motion moving sand and rocks against a specific area, then it will turn into a Bay
Which characteristic of an ocean shows that they are in constant motion?
Ocean currents show that they are in constant motion. These currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation, causing water to circulate around the globe.
Is the golf of mexico considered as a ocean?
The Gulf of Mexico is part of a body of ocean water but is not considered an ocean. A Gulf is partly surrounded by land.
What starts with a b and is part of sea or ocean and is partly enclosed by land?
a body of water
What is the constant movement of ocean water?
It is called a current
What is the upward motion of water of ocean water called?
tidal break
What is the upward motion of the ocean water?
tidal break
What is a large body of water partly or entirely enclosed by land?
sea It's a sea or an ocean.
What is the body of water that partly borders Mexico and the US?
There are two of them: The Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico.
How do you measure the temperature of the Arctic Ocean?
The temperature in the Arctic Ocean is a constant 28o Fahrenheit (at least the last time I was there). Since it is constantly in motion, only water near the ice actually freezes. Though the water temperature is constant, it can be monitored by satellite, ice camp manual temperature monitoring, submarines, and the occasional ice breaker headed north.
What is the upward motion of ocean water is called?
tidal break
