Currents differ primarily in their origin, direction, speed, and the medium through which they flow. In water bodies, for example, currents can be driven by wind, temperature gradients, or salinity differences, while in the atmosphere, they are influenced by temperature and pressure variations. Additionally, ocean currents are often deeper and can travel vast distances, whereas air currents are typically more variable and influenced by local weather conditions. These differences impact ecosystems, climate patterns, and navigation in both air and water.
North and south poles cause the clockwise rotation that then makes currents which come toward the land and the "repel" away
The deep water currents makes up what?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
They are both currents nut have different locations or spots they are from.
surface currents
convection currents :)
In the circuit shown, there are potentially three different currents.
The ocean currents are colder than the currents in the mantle,and the are located in different areas.
SURFACE
it makes cold water rise 2 the surface.and that's how sailinity affects currents.
The natural phenomenon of different water temperatures drive the currents.
The coriolis effect makes ocean currents move in a curved path.
