What most likely causes the movement of warm surface ocean currents?
clear and sunny
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
during the day when the land heats faster than the surface of the sea
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
convection
movement of air masses
Ocean currents bring deep, nutrient rich water to the surface. What causes these currents to move upward?
clear and sunny
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
during the day when the land heats faster than the surface of the sea
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
convection
movement of air masses
When would a sea breeze most likely occur?
clear and sunny
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
during the day when the land heats faster than the surface of the sea
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
convection
movement of air masses
If the barometer gradually increases in air pressure, humidity is 80% , and the thermometer reading is increasing, what type weather can one expect?
clear and sunny
cold surface water from the poles sinks, pushing deep water upward
during the day when the land heats faster than the surface of the sea
The warm air is less dense than the cooler air above it
warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
convection
movement of air masses
Which best explains why warm air over the ocean rises?
clear and sunny

warm currents carry warm water from the tropics toward the poles
sunlight heats air forming strong winds that push currents
convection
movement of air masses
