How does the rotation of earth modify ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right

What if ocean currents stop?
Ocean currents cannot simply stop. They are driven mainly by weather systems, heat and the earths rotation
When the path of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of the Earths rotation it is called the?
The Coriolis effect
What is the effect of rotation of earth?
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
What causes surface ocean currents to flow in a circular pattern or earths revolution earths revolutoin or earths rotation?
Surface ocean currents flow in a circular pattern due to a combination of Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and the shape of the continents. The Coriolis effect causes water to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, resulting in the circular motion of currents. This, along with the shape of the coastlines, influences the direction and pattern of ocean currents.
When the paths of wind and ocean currents curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
Coriolis effect and your mom
When the paths of winds and ocean currents seem to curve because of earths rotation it's called the?
The Coriolis effect
What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
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 Causes or driving forces that affect currents in the ocean?
The main driving force is wind, but it is also affected by the earths rotation, solar energies, and gravity.
What are ocean currents made of?
its the natural flow of of water causes by the earths magnetic field from it rotation which thus interacts with the moons gravitational pull called"TIDES"
