What 3 things can cause big waves?
Big waves can be caused by strong winds over the ocean's surface, underwater earthquakes or volcanic eruptions that displace a large volume of water, and the interaction of ocean currents with the shape of the seafloor.
What are 3 things that affect surface ocean currents?
Wind, deflection from land, temperature differences between layers of cold and warm water.
What are the 3 factors of surface currents?
continental deflections,global winds, coriolis effect
How long have convection currents been moving the Earth's surface?
Approximately 3 billion (3,000,000,000) years
What four factors cause ocean currents?
The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon and earth. Direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.
The 3 forces that create water currents?
Wind, tides, and density differences in water mass due to temperature and salinity variations are the three main forces that create water currents. Wind creates surface currents, tides generate both surface and deep currents, and density differences drive thermohaline circulation.
What 3 things set convection currents in motion?
The three main factors that are responsible for setting convection currents in motion are the cooling and heating of fluid, any changes to their density and the force of gravity. These factors combine to set the currents in motion.
What are the three factors that influence the direction of winds and surface currents?
Glocal winds: they occur when different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. The coriolis effect: The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth's rotation. Continental deflections: When surface currents meet continents, the currents deflect, or change direction.
What has the author U R Christensen written?
U. R Christensen has written: 'Time varying eddy currents on a conducting surface in 3-D using a network mesh method' -- subject(s): Eddy currents (Electric), Electric networks
How do surface currents develop?
Deep ocean currents are caused by 3 things:change in temperaturechange in salinity by evaporationchange in salinity by freezingBecause colder water and saltier water are more dense, they sink, and the motion causes deep currents.
What three things can cause slow change of the earths surface?
There are four main kinds of changes that can affect the earth's surface: 1)Earthquake 2)Flood 3)Valcano 4)Temperature
What 3 things can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface?
The 3 things that can happen to radiated heat when it arrives at any surface are:1. It can be Transmitted2. Absorbed3. Reflected
