What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
A force between the ocean and the wind causes what type surface currents?
friction
How are ocean waves made?
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds cause larger waves.
Surface currents are caused by friction between which two elements?
the ocean surface and wind
What force between the ocean the wind causes surface currents?
Ocean currents are dure to a cobination of wind, the Corilis effect, and temperature differences.
Is it true that surface currents in the ocean develop from the friction between the ocean and the wind that blows across its surface?
Yes it is true.
The friction between the ground and molecules in the air cause the wind to be what?
it will be slower near the surface
What causes oceans waves?
Normal (i.e. not tsunami) waves on the ocean are caused by the wind blowing over the ocean surface. The wind transfers some of its energy to the water surface, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds caused by storms result in larger waves and the larger the stretch of ocean over which the wind is blowing, the larger the waves.The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can make your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water.
What is ultimate cause of wind on earth?
Friction
What is blowing across the ocean surface cause friction which results in?
What is blowing across the ocean surface causes friction, which results in the transfer of energy from the wind to the water, creating waves and ocean currents. This energy transfer plays a significant role in driving the circulation patterns of the ocean and affecting weather patterns.
What forces cause wind to blow at altitude?
friction
What effects does the surface-wind pattern have on the circulation of the oceans?
The movement of wind over the surface of the ocean causes friction. The wind drags the ocean surface with it, making the pattern called surface-ocean wind-drift currents.
