Circular wind patterns create spiral ocean currents called gyres. There are five major gyres flowing both north and south of the equator: the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific and Indian ocean gyres.

What type of pattern do deep ocean currents?
Cold and High Salinity k12 question.
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
What are the three types of ocean currents?
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
What type of currents and tides are in the Indian ocean?
warm
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
What causes the formation of the two type of ocean currents?
The MOON and SUN
A force between the ocean and the wind causes what type surface currents?
friction
What type of energy starts the convection currents in the ocean?
THE ENGERGY is Kinetical energy
When a submarine explores the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
tidal current
What type of map would most likely be used to depict speed and direction of ocean currents?
thematic
What is difference similiarity currents and gyres?
Currents refer to the continuous flow of water in a particular direction, such as ocean currents that circulate around the globe. Gyres, on the other hand, are large rotating oceanic systems that are caused by the Earth's rotation and the movement of currents. Gyres are a specific type of current pattern that forms circular or spiral-shaped patterns in the ocean.
What type of oceanographer studies waves and ocean currents?
The category of oceanographer called a physical oceanographer
