What is a horizontal movement of ocean water that is caused by wind and that occurs at or near surface of the ocean?
Surface current
Define surface ocean currents?
Materials and energy
What is the horizontal movement of water?
Current
What is the ongoing movement of of ocean water called?
an ocean current.
What is the movement of water from the deep ocean to the surface?
Conveyor Belt Cycling describes the movement of the ocean water between surface and deep water.
What is the movement of ocean water that is caused by the uneven heating and density of the ocean water?
It is called an ocean current
What is the movement of deep ocean water controlled by?
Ocean currents
What is energy from ocean water?
The energy produced by the movement of ocean water is Tidal Energy
What is the meaning of throughflow?
In hydrology, throughflow is the horizontal movement of water in the soil zone.
When the sun heats one region in an ocean the movement of the water in the ocean circulates the leat What is the name of this phenomenon?
The phenomenon you are describing is known as ocean circulation or thermohaline circulation. This process is driven by differences in temperature and salinity in the water, which create density variations that cause the water to move. The circulation helps distribute heat across the ocean, influencing climate and weather patterns. A specific component of this is the "ocean conveyor belt," which refers to the large-scale movement of water that connects different ocean basins.
How Ar ocean trenches formed?
They form by erosion, either from under water volcanos or the currents that constantly move the water. The point is they both cause trenches, also oceanic plate movement.
What movement will occur when fresh water and salt water are in contact with each other simulating ocean currents with different densities of water?
The movement of water when ocean and fresh water meet is called Density currents.
