What else can I help you with?
What creates recirculating currents and turbulent waters that can swamp vessels and drown boaters?
A low-head dam.
What does the word turbulence mean?
Something which creates disturbance.
Which of these is a type of drag force turbulence tension thrust and compression?
Turbulence is a type of drag force that creates resistance to the flow of a fluid. It is caused by chaotic and irregular motion within the fluid.
What creates surface current?
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
What creates a continental rise?
Turbidity currents create continental rises.
What iz quatic?
Quatic is when the ocean's currents get gigantic and creates a tsunami.
When the air in the atmosphere unevenly warm by the suns wind currents are the result?
Essentially, yes: the Sun's heat creates convection-currents.
The energy that creates surface ocean currents comes from prevailing winds?
True
In bright sunlight dust particles in the air appear to dart about What causes this effect?
This effect is caused by the sunlight illuminating the dust particles in the air, making them visible. The movement you perceive is likely due to air currents or thermal convection currents that cause the dust particles to move around. The interaction between light, air currents, and dust particles creates the appearance of darting movement.
What causes clear air turbulence near mountains?
Turbulence is caused by air currents moving along relatively flat plains, then hitting the Sharp incline of a mountain and being forced up and over it. This creates a sudden upthrust near mountains that continues for some considerable distance above the mountain before falling again on the other side. Depending on the direction of the wind, one side will have a large upwards air current, the other a large downwards air current.
When the air in the atmosphere is unevenly warm by the suns wind currents are the results?
Uneven warming of the air by the sun creates differences in temperature, which in turn causes wind currents to form. These wind currents move air masses around the globe, influencing weather patterns and climate. The interaction of these wind currents can result in the formation of various weather phenomena such as storms, hurricanes, and tornadoes.
Describe the effect of temperature on density currents?
As temperature decreases, the density of water increases, causing it to sink. This creates a density current, where denser, colder water sinks below warmer water. The movement of these currents plays a significant role in ocean circulation and the mixing of nutrients and gases in water bodies.
