How does the spinning of Earth affect Earth's water?
Very little as it is spinning at a constant speed. However, the moon does affect the Earth's seas, greatly.
What are causes of the ocean currents?
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
What is cold-water currents and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
How do surface currents differ from density currents?
The same thing! Deep Currents Occur when the density of the water increases. Density is based on two main things it is the civility is how much salt and other solids are in it and it is also the temperature of the water.The lower the temperature the lower the dense the water becomes. The denser the water the more it was to go down. The less dense the water wants to rise. The temperature is what causes the dense. Deep current:A streamline movement of ocean water far below the surface.
How do ocean currents travel around the earth?
they travel by underwater heat or plate movement which causes a disturbance and cause the water to go into huge movement that can affect all kinds of organic life even on land as well as in the water
What are water current speeds in meters per second?
The speed of water current varies based on the gyres, or currents that are kept in motion by prevailing winds. But overall the water currents flow with the speed up to 0.4 to 1.2 m/s.
What is the difference between speed over ground and speed over water?
Air speed is the speed through the air (surprise!) and the air is often moving, you can have a strong tailwind or headwind so that will affect your speed over the ground (groundspeed). The speed through the air might be 500mph, and the groundspeed either 550mph or 450mph, if the wind is at 50mph.
What moves water parallel to Earth's surface?
Winds and ocean currents move water parallel to Earth's surface. Winds can create surface currents through friction with the ocean's surface, while ocean currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation.
Where do warm ocean currents start?
Warm ocean currents start near the equator where solar radiation is most intense, heating up the surface water. The warm water then moves away from the equator due to the rotation of the Earth and the global wind patterns. This movement creates currents that transport warm water to other regions of the world.
How does the spinning of earth affect the water?
The spinning of the Earth affects the Earth's water by creating currents and winds. The spinning of the earth is necessary to complete the water cycle and establish weather patterns.
Currents caused by wind that moves water parallel to earth surface are called?
Currents caused by wind that move water parallel to the Earth's surface are known as surface currents. These currents are primarily driven by the wind and are influenced by the Earth's rotation, creating patterns such as the gyres in the ocean. Surface currents play a crucial role in regulating climate and weather patterns by redistributing heat across the globe.
What types of currents are on Earth?
I know four ,but I'm pretty sure this could help. I know water currents, air currents, heat currents, and electric currents. This would probably go along with water current, but anyways there is also a ocean current. . :D
