How does the concept of waves envelope impact the behavior of ocean currents?
The concept of waves influences ocean currents by transferring energy and momentum. Waves can cause surface currents to form, which can affect the movement of water in the ocean. The interaction between waves and currents can impact the behavior of ocean circulation patterns.
What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
The wind stirs up currents?
Surface
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.
Most surface waves are caused by?
Most surface waves are caused by the wind blowing over the surface of the water, creating ripples and waves. Other factors that can cause surface waves include seismic activity, tides, and underwater landslides.
Does the moon's gravity cause waves and currents?
yes
What cause surface currents?
Wind!
What is the difference between waves and currents?
when the surface of the sea is distributed, waves are produced. waves are seen moving on the surface of water but actually their movement is not extensive and the movement of water from one part of the ocean to another gives rise to currents.
What are surface currents and waves powered by?
Surface currents and waves in the ocean are primarily powered by wind. When wind blows across the surface of the water, it transfers energy to the water, creating ripples that can develop into larger waves and currents. Additionally, surface currents are influenced by factors such as the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect) and the configuration of coastlines. Overall, wind is the primary driver, while other factors modulate their patterns and behaviors.
What is the cause of waves currents and tides?
the wind and shifting of the earth.
What happens when a surface meets a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.
