What else can I help you with?
What causes cold nutrientrich waters to move up to the oceans surface?
ocean fronts
What is the opposite of the ocean bottom?
The opposite of bottom would be the top, so the oceans surface is the opposite of the ocean floor/bottom.
Does a great white shark live at the bottom of the sea?
No the Great White Shark lives in the surface layers of the oceans.
How much water covers the oceans surface?
The oceans surface is 100% water.
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.
The continuous movement of water from earths surface to the atmosphere and back again?
water cycle
How do differences in density cause currents to flow both in the surface waters of the oceans and in the bottom waters of the ocean?
The differing densities of water create a consistent movement between the various thermal layers. As water is cooled, it actually expands, so it rises, and as it is warmed it sinks.
What is the movements of water on the surface of seas and oceans are called water?
The movement of water on the surface of seas and oceans is called surface currents. These currents are caused by a combination of factors, such as wind, the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), temperature, and salinity gradients. Surface currents play a crucial role in redistributing heat around the globe and influencing weather patterns.
Why aren't that many craters on Earth?
Because of the weather, plate tectonics (the movement of the land), as well as the oceans, the surface of the Earth is in a state of constant change.
What terms means the constant movement of the earths water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans?
Water cycle is the term for the constant movement of the earth's water from oceans to air to land and back to oceans
Which spheres of the earth system interact to form a surface current?
The spheres that interact to form a surface current are the hydrosphere (oceans) and the atmosphere (wind). Surface currents are driven by the wind patterns on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the movement of water at the surface, creating ocean currents.
The movement between earths surface and the air is called the what cycle?
The movement between Earth's surface and the air is called the water cycle. This cycle involves the continuous circulation of water through the atmosphere, land, and oceans, driven by processes such as evaporation, condensation, precipitation, and runoff.
