What Surface ocean currents are primarily formed by?
winds
Why are four craters formed on the moon weekly?
Craters are formed when asteroids and comets collide with the lunar surface.
How are convective currents formed?
From the uneven heating of the earths surface
What surface feature is formed where two plates meet?
The surface feature formed when two plates meet is known as a fault. In some cases mountains can also be formed when two plates collide.
How surface currents formed?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
What is formed when two crustal plates collide what surface feature is created?
When two crustal plates collide, they can form mountain ranges. The collision forces the crustal rocks to deform and buckle, leading to the creation of folded and uplifted mountain belts on the Earth's surface.
When two continental plates collide what types of mountain are formed?
When two continental plates collide,fold mountains are formed.
How are surface ocean currents formed?
Surface ocean currents are primarily formed by wind patterns, the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), temperature gradients, and the shape of the ocean basins. Winds moving across the ocean surface transfer their energy to the water, causing it to move in the direction of the wind. The Coriolis effect causes the currents to curve as the Earth rotates, leading to the formation of circular gyres. Temperature gradients influence the density of water, creating differences in pressure that drive currents.
Where is an earthquake formed?
Question worded a little funny though. But they can be formed anywhere, and are caused by the tectonic plates, whenever they collide, wherever they collide.
How a trench formed?
a trench is formed when 2 oceanic plates collide
What two spheres interact with wave currents?
The atmosphere and hydrosphere interact with wave currents. Wave currents are formed by the interactions of wind with the surface of the ocean, which is part of the hydrosphere, while the atmosphere plays a crucial role in generating and sustaining these wind patterns.
