Sinking of dense, cold water with high salinity :)
What else can I help you with?
What causes cold deep currents to in the ocean near the poles?
Sinking of dense, cold water with high salinity :)
How do ocean currents get warm or cold?
if its by the equator or the two poles, its gonna be cold water currents. hope this helps :)
Ocean currents that move toward the poles are?
warm
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
Where do cold water currents begin?
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
What is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
How do ocean currents affect air temperature in coastal areas?
Warm Ocean currents warms the air above it and some move from the tropic towards both poles ---------------------------------------------------------AND----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold Ocean currents also affect weather patterns by bringing cold water from polar to the equator
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
What is responsible for mixing the heat evenly throughout the ocean?
Ocean currents are responsible for mixing heat evenly throughout the ocean. These currents transport warm water from the equator towards the poles and bring cold water from the poles towards the equator, helping to regulate global temperature. Winds also play a role in driving ocean currents and redistributing heat.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
Are the ocean currents in the pacific warm or cold?
Both: Tidal currents that flow from the tropics will be warm, and if they flow from the poles will be cool.
Are deep ocean currents predominantly cold or warm?
Deep ocean currents are predominantly cold.
