A large movement of water in one general direction is a current. Currents can be temporary or long-lasting. They can be near the surface or in the deep ocean. The strongest currents shape Earth’s global climate patterns (and even local weather conditions) by moving heat around the world.
Ocean movements are the consequence of many separate factors: wind, tides, Coriolis effect, water density differences, and the shape of the ocean basins. Water movements and their causes will be discussed in this lesson. Ocean waves transfer energy through the water over great distances.
Ocean currents are continuous movements of ocean water that wind, breaking waves, tides, temperature and salinity differences, and other forces acting upon the water generate.
Ocean currents are the continuous, predictable, directional movement of seawater driven by gravity, wind (Coriolis Effect), and water density. Ocean water moves in two directions: horizontally and vertically.
1 Αυγ 2011 · Ocean currents, abiotic features of the environment, are continuous and directed movements of ocean water. These currents are on the ocean’s surface and in its depths, flowing both locally and globally.
1 Ιαν 2024 · The flow of water within streams, rivers, lakes, ponds, and other water bodies is governed by principles from the field of hydrodynamics. The ensuing motions determine the habitats for aquatic organisms and create conditions that influence biogeochemical reactions.
21 Ιουλ 2019 · Ocean currents are the vertical or horizontal movement of both surface and deep water throughout the world’s oceans. Currents normally move in a specific direction and aid significantly in the circulation of the Earth’s moisture, the resultant weather, and water pollution.
