What causes ocean circulation?
I would like to find out what are the causes of ocean circulation. can someone plzz tell mii
What causes ocean basins to form?
under the earth start to overlap one another causing things in the ocean called basins to occur which is where ocean basins comes from.
How do the shape of the ocean basins and density differences in ocean water influence its movement?
The shape of ocean basins influences the direction and flow of ocean currents through the Coriolis effect. Density differences in ocean water, caused by temperature and salinity variations, drive vertical mixing and circulation patterns, such as thermohaline circulation, which play a crucial role in redistributing heat and nutrients around the globe.
Are most plates boundaries continents or in ocean basins?
In ocean basins
What factors include the direction of ocean currents?
The factors that can modify the currents are direction and shape of coastlines, bottom reliefs of the ocean basins, seasonal variations and rotation of the earth. Ocean circulation is driven by winds and by differences in water density
Do you get ocean basins when plates collide?
No, Ocean basins form when land drifts away, for example "Pangea" (north america,Europe,Asia&Africa) were once together & now, are not, theirfor ocean basins were created
What is the most common igneous rock of the ocean basins?
Ocean basins are primarily made of the igneous rock, basalt.
How do plates cause ocean basins?
the earth.
What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
Which scientist studies rocks and ocean basins?
A geologist studies rocks, while an oceanographer studies ocean basins. Marine geologists specifically study the rocks and geological features of the ocean floor.
Are most plate boundaries on continents or in ocean basins?
Most plate boundaries are located in ocean basins rather than on continents. This is because oceanic plates are denser than continental plates, leading to subduction zones and mid-ocean ridges where most of the plate boundaries are found in the oceans.
What part of earth is the continents and ocean basins?
crust
