Which ocean current has a warrming effect along the southeastern coast of north America-gulf stream or labrador current?
The Gulf Stream is a massive, warm current that flows northward from the Gulf of Mexico, through the Straits of Florida. The Laborador Current is a cold, southward flowing current that runs closer to the coasts of Canada and the USA.
Why do you think the Gulf Stream current does not flow down into the Southern Hemisphere?
The Gulf Stream current primarily flows in the Northern Hemisphere due to the Earth's rotation and the Coriolis effect, which causes moving water to veer to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. Additionally, the Atlantic Ocean's geography, including the presence of landmasses like North America and the Caribbean, channels the current northward. The contrast in temperature and salinity between the warmer waters of the Gulf Stream and the cooler waters of the Southern Hemisphere also creates a natural barrier that prevents the current from flowing southward.
What is the tropical ocean current that flows northward called?
Gulf Stream
Is there a word for the small stream of water flowing southward down a mountain?
I know of no special name for southerly flowing streams. 'Draining in a southerly direction' would perhaps be a description.
How fast is the Gulf Stream current flowing?
The Gulf Stream current flows at an average speed of about 4 miles per hour.
What is steadily flowing stream of water in the worlds seas?
Current duhhh!(:
What is a north Atlantic current?
The North Atlantic Current is a vast, slow moving warm current. It is created from the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current joining at southern Greenland, which creates the widening and slowing of the Gulf Stream. The North Atlantic Current splits near western Europe, one part creating the warm Norway Current flowing northward along the coast of Norway and the other creating the cold Canary Current deflecting southward, eventually warming and rejoining the North Equatorial Current.
What 3 ocean currents affect Canada's climate?
The Labrador Current, the Gulf Stream, and the North Atlantic Current are the main ocean currents that influence Canada's climate. The Labrador Current brings cold water southward along the east coast, while the warm waters of the Gulf Stream flow northward along the east coast, moderating temperatures. The North Atlantic Current also plays a role in influencing weather patterns and temperature fluctuations in coastal areas.
Where does the global current conveyor belt begin?
The global current conveyor belt begins in the North Atlantic Ocean, where warm water from the Gulf Stream moves northward to the Arctic. This warm water eventually cools and sinks in the Labrador Sea, starting a deep current that travels southward along the ocean floor.
What is Electric charge flowing in a steady stream called?
Electric charge flowing in a steady stream is called electric current. It is the rate of flow of electric charge and is measured in Amperes (A).
What current flowing from the Gulf of Mexico to Europe has a warming effect on the climate of Western Europe?
The Gulf Stream?
What is a current meter?
it is an instrument to determine the velocity of flow at required point in a flowing stream.
