What else can I help you with?
How do Kelvin-Helmholtz Instability form?
Usually where there is a velocity difference across the face of two fluids- such as wind blowing across the surface of the water.
What is blowing across the ocean surface cause friction which results in?
What is blowing across the ocean surface causes friction, which results in the transfer of energy from the wind to the water, creating waves and ocean currents. This energy transfer plays a significant role in driving the circulation patterns of the ocean and affecting weather patterns.
What is a good sentence for surface currents?
Surface currents can be very fast on water.
How are hurricanes related to waves?
The winds from a hurricane blowing across the water's surface creates waves. The stronger the wind, the bigger the waves. Put some water in a bowl and blow across the surface. You made waves.
Where do the waves come from?
Waves are created by the transfer of energy from winds blowing across the surface of the water. The friction between the wind and the surface of the water causes ripples to form, which can develop into waves as they travel across the ocean.
What occurs when winds blowing across the ocean's surface push water away from an area causing subsurface water to come up from beneath the surface to replace the diverging surface water?
nothing
Which of these causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blow straight across the earth's surface?
The Coriolis effect causes global winds to appear to turn instead of blowing straight across the Earth's surface. This effect is the result of the Earth's rotation and causes moving air or water to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
How does the energy from the sun produce waves?
It warms the atmosphere which causes convection and wind. The wind blowing across the surface of water causes waves.
The energy of ocean waves comes from the energy of?
Mostly by wind blowing across the water's surface.
Wind blowing across the ocean causes what?
waves
Compare contrast How wind and glaciers abrade rock?
Wind abrades rock by sandblasting, this is the process in which wind causes the blowing of millions of grains of sand, which bump across the surface of rocks.
Is a strong west wind blowing across a region an example of potential energy?
No, it is an example for kinetic energy as the wind is blowing.
