Which best describes the Gulf stream?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
When the atmosphere is warmed by the sun, a change in air pressure results in?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
If the barometer gradually increases in air pressure, humidity is 80% , and the thermometer reading is increasing, what type weather can one expect?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
A barometer shows that the pressure is rising. Which kind of weather is most likely on the way?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
Which best explains why warm air over the ocean rises?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
Deep ocean currents are the result of which process?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
Ocean currents bring deep, nutrient rich water to the surface. What causes these currents to move upward?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
What most likely causes the movement of warm surface ocean currents?
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
fair
wind
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
convection
clear and sunny
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
