What cause wind to be deflected to the right or the left as they from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
What do currents in earth's liquid core cause?
It cause Tsunami
In the northern hemisphere planetary winds are deflected to the right due to what?
Cause by Earth's rotation
How does heat cause ocean currents?
Heat from the sun warms the surface of the ocean, causing the water to expand and become less dense. This warm water then moves towards colder regions, creating ocean currents as it cools and sinks. The rotation of the Earth, winds, and differences in salinity also play a role in the formation of ocean currents.
Are global winds and ocean currents related?
Yes, global winds and ocean currents are closely interconnected. The winds create friction on the ocean surface, causing the water to move and create currents. Ocean currents, in turn, can affect the heat distribution and circulation patterns of the atmosphere.
What cause wind to be deflected to the right or the left as they from high pressure to low pressure?
Winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere because of the earths rotation.
What happen when surface currents meet a continent?
you get waves not tidal waves or tsunami's! You just get waves. how big they get would depend on air currents and storms
What are currents and what do they cause?
wind
What do deep currents cause?
They cause movement of the ocean.
How do convection currents distribute heat in the oceans?
Convection currents in the oceans distribute heat by transferring warm water from the equator towards the poles and cold water from the poles towards the equator. This process helps regulate global temperature patterns and redistributes heat throughout the ocean, influencing weather patterns and climate.
What cause surface currents?
Wind!
What do currents in earth's liquid core cause?
It cause Tsunami
What causes density currents?
Currents in the coastal water masses
What is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
In the northern hemisphere planetary winds are deflected to the right due to what?
Cause by Earth's rotation
What is the name given to the cause of winds being deflected to the right?
The Coriolis Effect. It's caused by the rotation of the earth.
Do convection currents cause volcano activity?
yes
