No. The ocean currents are the product of long term general wind currents and differences in temperature and salinity. By comparison, a tsunami is a momentary disturbance. Additionally, a tsunami is a wave, not a current; the water moves up and down, back and forth, but experiences little or no net displacement.
What else can I help you with?
What iz quatic?
Quatic is when the ocean's currents get gigantic and creates a tsunami.
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Do ocean currents effect temperature?
Yes, they do.
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
HOW does the Coriolis effect impact ocean currents in the southern and northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the right. In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the left. This deflection leads to the clockwise rotation of ocean currents in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere.
What is the cause of oceanic currents?
Ocean currents are caused by various factors. They are made from earthquakes, winds, tides and differences in density. The currents of the ocean have an effect on the weather.
How does the coriolis effect make oceans currents appear to move?
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
Is the ocean currents result of the sun?
Is storms a effect of the sun
What can effect the climate of an area?
well,the ocean currents can eventually effect the climat of an area
Describe how the rotation of earth modifies ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
The rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects ocean currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. This results in ocean currents flowing clockwise in the northern part of the ocean basins. The Coriolis effect influences the direction and shape of major ocean currents like the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift.
What are the three factors that affect the ocean?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
What effect causes ocean currents to curve to the right or the left?
the answer is Coriolis
