What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
What causes ocean currents and why is it important?
waves
What is it called when wind and ocean currents work together?
Could it be Ocean-Atmosphere Coupling.
What causes mild climates in Europe?
ThE ocean currents
What ocean current causes warming?
up currents
What is the relationship between convection currents in the ocean and convection currents in the atmosphere?
Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point) Responses Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents. Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
What do patterns of heating and cooling in the atmosphere result in?
Ocean currents. This could also apply to wind currents.
HOW does the Coriolis effect impact ocean currents in the southern and northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the right. In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the left. This deflection leads to the clockwise rotation of ocean currents in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere.
What is the primary source of energy for ocean currents and waves?
Ocean currents at the SURFACE -- their primary cause is SOLAR ENERGY. Due to solar energy, much of the wind pattern originates and this wind pattern in turn causes ocean currents on the surface.
Which spheres of the earth system interact to form a surface current?
The spheres that interact to form a surface current are the hydrosphere (oceans) and the atmosphere (wind). Surface currents are driven by the wind patterns on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the movement of water at the surface, creating ocean currents.
What is Major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean?
Vertical convection in both the ocean and atmosphere is caused by uneven HEATing.The source of energy for convection in the ocean and atmosphere is heating from the sun.
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy
