What else can I help you with?
Is the temperature of ocean water higher closer to the surface?
Under normal conditions, yes.
Why is an ocean wave classified as a surface wave?
The energy moves, not the water
What moves warm or cool air across the ocean surface?
wind.
What moves the ocean floor?
the tectonic plates under the earths surface
What moves water horizontally?
A surface current is a wind-powered current that moves water along horizontally. Because the wind is on the surface, a surface current only forms along the first few hundred feet of ocean water.
What moves water parallel to Earth's surface?
Winds and ocean currents move water parallel to Earth's surface. Winds can create surface currents through friction with the ocean's surface, while ocean currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation.
Whose border is closer to the Pacific Ocean Idaho or Nevada?
Nevada is closer to the Pacific Ocean than Idaho.
What causes ocean currents like the gulf stream?
water that moves at the oceans surface.
Is Chicago closer to Atlantic ocean or the pacific ocean?
Chicago is closer to the Atlantic Ocean
How does the sun provide energy for surface ocean currents?
The sun heats the water, causing cold / hot circulation, and evaporation. It also heats the air, causing wind, which also moves currents.
What moon has a frozen ocean?
Europa, a moon of Jupiter, is believed to have a frozen ocean beneath its icy surface. This ocean is thought to be in contact with a rocky seafloor, potentially providing conditions suitable for life to exist.
What occurs when seasonal extreme winds cause the colder lower region ocean waters to climb closer to the surface?
upwelling
