How do surface currents occur?
unequal heating
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.
What causes surface currents to move?
Randomism .
What are stream like movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean?
Surface currents
An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
How do deep ocean currents occur?
It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.
What causes surface and deep currents?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
What factor causes surface currents north and south of the equator to move in different locations?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
What causes ocean surface currents?
A surface current is a current caused by wind direction
What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
What causes deep ocean surface currents?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
