What else can I help you with?
Do give 2 examples of surface currents?
Gulf Stream, Australian
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Are winds examples of convection currents?
Yes, winds are examples of convection currents. The uneven heating of Earth's surface by the sun creates temperature variations that cause air to rise and fall, creating convection currents that result in winds.
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What cold currents near coastlines might indicate sites of upwelling?
Cold currents near coastlines often indicate the presence of upwelling. This is because upwelling brings cold, nutrient-rich waters from the ocean depths to the surface, leading to colder surface currents. Some examples of cold currents near coastlines that are associated with upwelling include the California Current, the Benguela Current, and the Canary Current.
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What are surface curents?
ocean currents that lead away from the equator. Examples: Gulf Stream and Brazil Current
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz
In what regions of the globe do warm surface currents originate?
Warm surface currents generally originate in tropical regions near the equator. Some examples include the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean, the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific Ocean, and the Agulhas Current in the Indian Ocean. These currents are driven by prevailing winds, Earth's rotation, and differences in water density.
What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.
