What else can I help you with?
What is the effect of wind pushing on the surface water of the oceans?
oceans are the best.
What is the rising of deep water to the ocean surface called?
The rising of deep water to the ocean surface is called upwelling. This phenomenon occurs when winds blow across the ocean surface, pushing away surface water and allowing nutrient-rich water from the depths to rise. Upwelling is important for marine ecosystems as it supports high productivity and sustains various marine life.
How and why do temperature and pressure vary with ocean depth?
At sea level,the pressure of the atmosphere pushing down on the ocean surface is reffered to as 1 atmosphere of pressure.An atmosphere is the pressure exerted on a surface at sea level by the column of air above it.As you go below the oceans surface ,the pressure increases because of the force of the water molecules pushing down.
Why is air pressure greatest at earthes surface?
Same reason water pressure is the highest at the bottom of the ocean - the amount of stuff above, pushing down.
What do surface currents effect?
For Apex A- The rotation of Earth on its Axis C - The differences in water density D- The temperature of Ocean Water
The wind stirs up currents?
Surface
What is one effect of the cohesion of water?
One effect of water's cohesion is surface tension, which allows water to form droplets and support objects that are denser than itself, such as insects walking on water.
What current brings cold water to the ocean surface?
An upwelling is a current in the ocean that brings deep, cold water to the ocean surface.
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth's ocean?
Surface currents in the Earth's oceans are mainly caused by the combination of the wind and the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect). The wind pushes the surface water, creating movement, and the Coriolis effect deflects this movement to create currents.
What is the vertical section of the ocean from the surface to the ocean floor referred to as?
This section of the ocean from floor to surface is called the water column.
How are ocean currents related to planetary wind belts?
Ocean currents are closely related to planetary wind belts due to the influence of wind patterns on surface water movement. The prevailing winds, driven by the Earth's rotation and solar heating, create friction on the ocean's surface, pushing water in specific directions. This interaction forms large-scale currents that flow in concert with wind patterns, such as the trade winds and westerlies. Additionally, the Coriolis effect causes these currents to deflect, further shaping their paths in relation to the wind belts.
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.
