How do seasons affect the surface winds?
Seasons affect surface winds by creating temperature differences between land and ocean. During summer, land heats up faster than the ocean, causing the air above it to rise, creating low pressure. This draws in moist air from the ocean, leading to onshore winds. In winter, the reverse occurs as the land cools faster than the ocean, creating high pressure and offshore winds.
What are the summer and winter temperatures for the pacific ocean?
The Pacific Ocean has varying temperatures during the summer and winter months. During the summer, the Pacific Ocean is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit while in the winter it is approximately 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
What happens to the air above the ocean water nearby?
Generally the air is cooled, because the air is warmer than the water surrounding it. But during winter in Alaska, the water is cooler than the air. The water will create a fog that freezes on any surface.
During winter, does the ocean freeze in certain regions"?
Yes, in some regions the ocean can freeze during winter, particularly in polar regions where temperatures are extremely cold.
Is there sunlight in the Arctic Ocean?
Yes, there is sunlight in the Arctic Ocean, except during the winter.
Are the ocean waves still during the winter solstice?
No. Why would they be?
What happens at a ridge?
magma comes through the ocean surface and makes volcanoes
When is the surface level of the ocean highest?
During high tide
What happens to the amplitude of a wave as strong winds blow it over the ocean's surface?
The amplitude is increased by strong surface winds.
What happens to each water particle as a wave passes through the ocean?
it stay at the surface
Why does New England have mild winters?
The ocean cools and heats up slower than land does; therefore, during winter, the ocean is as warm as the land in summer and in summer the water is as warm as the land in winter.
If a mass of ocean water is cold and salty what will it where on earth's surface is this event common?
the salt will sink to the ocean floor and it happens at the poles.
