ocean surface currents
Streamlike movements of water that occur at or near the surface of the ocean are called ___
Surface Currents.
The East Australian Current does what
flows along the East coast of Australia
If Earth's surface were covered only with water, currents would travel in a what type of pattern
fixed pattern
Deep currents are stream-like and do what with the ocean
movements of ocean water far below the ocean surface
Waves are made of two main components -
crests and troughs that help them flow.
flow like rivers in distinct patterns around the Earth.
are called Surface currents that help flow water etc
it flows southward
from the Great Barrier
Reef.
When currents meet landforms, they do what
change direction and procedie on course
Deep currents are not controlled by
wind or the Coriolis effect.
A wavelength is a distance between two
adjust crests or troughs.
Surface currents are controlled by four
factors:
winds, the Coriolis effect,
continental deflections, the water
temp
Speeds in the core of the EAC are
among the strongest in the South Pacific ___ ph
4.5 mph
Warm water currents begin near the equator and carry
warm water to other parts of the ocean.
Temperature and salinity affect the what of the ocean
the density of ocean water.
Wave height is the vertical distance between
the crest of a wave and its trough.
this stream comes from Florida to
Iceland making it hot and cool with the hot currents
The movie would have you think that the East Australian Current is a narrow jet. But actually it is __
it is way bigger a wider
Warm-water currents create what in diffrent areas
warmer climates in coastal areas that would otherwise be much cooler (Iceland).
The denser water moves along the ocean floor and eventually travels towards
the equator in the form of a deep current.
Ocean aves form because of friction between
the wind and the surface of the water.
Hemisphere turn clockwise while currents in the Southern Hemisphere turn
counter clock wise
The current is almost 100 km wide, and more than
1.5 km deep – in fact, more like a ribbon than a tube.
This causes changes in the atmosphere that disrupt
the climate in many parts of the world.
Less-dense water always flows on
water
Waves move in a what type of pattern
circular pattern causing them to make the currents and things
