What 2 things work together to create density currents?
Change of temperature and salinity .
Currents are caused by temperature and density differences?
Currents in the ocean are primarily driven by a combination of wind, temperature, and density differences. Wind helps generate surface currents, while temperature and density variances, such as those caused by differences in salinity, contribute to deeper ocean currents like thermohaline circulation. These factors work together to create complex patterns of ocean currents that help circulate heat and nutrients around the globe.
Thermohaline circulation is driven by changes in?
Thermohaline circulation is driven by changes in temperature and salinity of ocean water. Cold, dense water sinks in the polar regions due to its high salinity and low temperature, driving the deep ocean currents that help regulate the global climate by redistributing heat and nutrients around the world.
How does salinity and temperature effect thermohaline circulation?
Salinity affects thermohaline circulation by influencing the density of seawater. Higher salinity increases water density, promoting sinking of cold, dense water in polar regions. Temperature influences this circulation by controlling the density of water - colder water is denser and more likely to sink. Both factors work together to drive the global thermohaline circulation system.
What is it called when wind and ocean currents work together?
Could it be Ocean-Atmosphere Coupling.
What organ systems work together to maintain body temperature?
The skin
Why do we need to work together to reduce ocean pollution?
We need to work together to reduce ocean pollution because it is a complex issue that requires coordinated efforts from various stakeholders. Individual actions affect the health of the entire ocean ecosystem, so collective action is essential to address this global challenge effectively. Collaboration allows for sharing of resources, knowledge, and best practices to implement more impactful and sustainable solutions.
Where does a ocean engineer work?
In the ocean
What do you mean be salinity and at what age does it occur?
Check the meaning of Salinity- I think you have the wrong word. Salinity means how much salt. Senility- is were you get old and your brain functions do not work as they should. It can happen as early as 50 or as late as 80 most common in the late 70's.
Why do countries need to work together to mitigate environmental damage?
Because one country doesn't own that much ocean water.
How does a thermocouple work to measure temperature accurately?
A thermocouple works by using two different metals joined together to create a voltage that changes with temperature. This voltage is then measured and converted into a temperature reading, providing an accurate measurement of the temperature.
How do thermocouples work and what is their principle of operation?
Thermocouples work by measuring temperature through the voltage generated when two different metals are joined together. This is known as the Seebeck effect. When there is a temperature difference between the two junctions of the metals, it creates a voltage that is proportional to the temperature difference. This voltage can then be measured and used to determine the temperature.
