What are currents within the surf zone that flow parallel to the shore called?
These currents are called LongShore or Feeder Currents.
In the tropical latitude's trade winds push currents where?
In the tropical latitudes, trade winds push currents westward across the oceans. This is known as the tropical gyre circulation pattern. The trade winds create the Equatorial Currents, which flow towards the west in both the northern and southern hemispheres.
Difference between cold and warm currents?
Cold currents originate from polar regions and bring cold water towards the equator, cooling nearby coastal areas. Warm currents come from tropical regions and bring warm water towards higher latitudes, raising temperatures in coastal areas. Cold currents tend to have higher nutrient content due to upwelling, while warm currents carry less nutrients.
When electric currents are not allowed to flow the circuit is called a?
When electric currents are not allowed to flow, the circuit is called an open circuit. This means that there is a break in the circuit, preventing the flow of electricity from one point to another.
What are materials that allow electrical currents to flow them are called?
Materials that allow electrical currents to flow through them are called conductors. Examples of good conductors include metals such as copper, silver, and aluminum.
Where do convection currents flow through the earth?
The mantle called the asthenosphere
What Hot dry air masses that flow into the United States from the interior of Mexico are called?
continental tropical
What is the definition of warm currents?
currents that flow away
Can currents move water from one place to another?
Yes, the flow of water is CALLED a current.
In which direction does the moving force of air flow?
The force of air typically flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure. This movement creates wind and air currents.
What are hot dry air masses that flow into the US from the interior of Mexico called?
continental tropical
What are the cold dry air masses that flow into the US from the interior of Canada called?
continental tropical
