currents
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
Streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface are called surface currents. So logically, a deep current are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor.
Deep currents are streamlike movements of water that flow very slowly along the ocean floor. Deep currents occur when the cold, dense water from the poles sinks below warmer, less sense ocean water and flows towards the equator.
The break in the earth's surface is called a fault line.
Surface currents
Horizontal movements of water caused by wind and occurring at or near the ocean's surface are called surface currents. They play a significant role in redistributing heat around the Earth and influencing global climate patterns.
waves
The mass movement of surface water is typically referred to as runoff, which is the flow of water over land surfaces towards rivers, lakes, and oceans. This movement can occur due to rainfall, snowmelt, or other forms of precipitation. Runoff plays a crucial role in the water cycle and can contribute to erosion and sediment transport.
This type of movement is called segmentational movements.
how do tidal movements happen
The largest tidal movements are called spring tides. Spring tides occur when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned, resulting in higher high tides and lower low tides.
When a region of the Earth's surface sinks down, it is called subsidence. This can occur due to various reasons such as tectonic movements, the collapse of underground structures like mines or caves, or the withdrawal of groundwater causing land to settle. Subsidence can lead to issues such as land degradation, sinkholes, or even affecting structures built on the surface.
