What else can I help you with?
The rotating loops of currents that occur in the ocean are referred to as?
The rotating loops of currents that occur in the ocean are referred to as gyres. The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean in the world.
Are ocean currents located near or far from a coast?
ocean currents truly are everywhere, but the do not occur directly on the coast.
Why do deep ocean currents occur?
My best guess is that they occur because of warming and cooling of the surface temperature. I am sure there is a pattern of these deep ocean currents to and from the equator and the poles.
How do deep ocean currents occur?
It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.
How do tidal currents perform in the open ocean?
Tidal currents usually occur near shorelines not in the open ocean. This is caused by the motion of the tide going in and out which is influenced by the moon.

Which ocean currents does not occur in Atlantic Ocean?
gluf stream brazil current peru current canary current
What are streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean called?
currents
What are stream like movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean?
Surface currents
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What type of ocean tide currents occur when the sun earth and the moon are aligned?
A Spring tide.
Do density currents ocour in the pacific ocean?
Yes, density currents occur in the Pacific Ocean, as they do in other oceanic regions. These currents are driven by differences in water density, which can result from variations in temperature and salinity. In the Pacific, processes such as upwelling and downwelling contribute to the formation of density currents, impacting nutrient distribution and marine ecosystems. Such currents play a crucial role in the ocean's thermohaline circulation.
