ocean surface currents
which stream transports warm water to iceland
the gulf stream
how wide is the eac
100 km wide
what decides the climate each year
surface currents
at what depth will the water get colder
200 meters
what two componets are waves made from
crest and a through
why is iceland greener than greenland
because the warm water from the gulf stream travels to iceland
how deep is the eac
1.5 km deep
what always flows up on top of denser water
less dense water
the distance between a crest and a through
what creates surface currents
global wind
what speeds can the eac reach
4.5 mph
what happens when current paths meets landforms
they change direction
what are deep currents controlled by
water density
because of friction between the wind and the surface of the water. Waves move in a circular pattern
what 4 factors are surfance currents controlled by
global winds, coriolis effect, continenal deflections and water tempature
how high is the eac
7 km high
what place is greatly effected by surface currents
iceland
what affects the density of water
saltiness and tempature
what do mechancal waves require
a medium to travel through
what factor makes surface currents move in curved paths
the coriolis effect
how many meters of water does the eac transport
40 million cubic meters of water
what cityin the usa is affected by surface currents
san francisco
what do denser water move towards
the equater
what type of energy are waves
a tranfer of energy
