It would take 1,000 years for a DEEP OCEAN CURRENT to move from the south pole, to the equator and back again. (learned it in science class yesterday!)

Not sure about surface currents.

How fast do waves, such as sound waves or ocean waves, travel?

Waves, like sound waves and ocean waves, travel at different speeds depending on the medium they are traveling through. Sound waves travel at about 343 meters per second in air, while ocean waves can travel at speeds ranging from 1 to 60 kilometers per hour.


How fast do ocean waves travel and what factors influence their speed?

Ocean waves typically travel at speeds ranging from 5 to 60 kilometers per hour. The speed of ocean waves is influenced by factors such as wind speed, wind duration, and the distance over which the wind blows.


How fast can a wave move?

The speed of a wave depends on the medium it is moving through. In general, sound waves travel at around 340 m/s in air, electromagnetic waves (such as light) travel at 300,000 km/s in a vacuum, and ocean waves can travel as fast as 750 km/h in deep water during a storm.


In which direction do ocean waves travel in an up and down motion?

Ocean waves travel in an up and down motion in a vertical direction.


What are two facts about waves?

Waves are disturbances that carry energy through a medium or space without transferring matter. Waves can be categorized as mechanical (require a medium to travel through, like water waves) or electromagnetic (travel through a vacuum, like light waves).


How fast do these waves travel?

really fast man. like super fast.


How are ocean waves different from sound waves in terms of their propagation and behavior?

Ocean waves and sound waves differ in their propagation and behavior. Ocean waves are mechanical waves that travel through water, while sound waves are pressure waves that travel through air or other mediums. Ocean waves are affected by factors such as wind, tides, and water depth, while sound waves can travel through different mediums and are influenced by temperature and pressure. Additionally, ocean waves can be seen and felt, while sound waves are typically heard and can be reflected or absorbed by different materials.


How do ocean waves travel?

the gravitational pull of the moon


What cant secondary waves travel through?

Ocean


What are waves in the open ocean called?

Waves in the open ocean are called ocean waves. These waves are generated by the wind and can travel vast distances across the ocean. Ocean waves can vary in size and strength depending on factors like wind speed and duration.


What are waves that travel across water called?

ocean tides


Do ocean waves travel faster or slower than primary waves or secondary waves?

only faster not slower.
