Which of the following movements of ocean water has the greatest direct effect on the growth of producers?
solar energy — wind energy — surface currents
differences in water density
When water loses heat, it becomes denser and sinks.
upwelling
Warm water loses energy to its surroundings and cools.
During the process of convection, water that was warmed by the sun loses heat. The water cools, becomes denser, and sinks.
Heat energy in warm surface currents is transported to areas near Earth’s poles.
surface winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflection
Which three factors most directly affect surface currents in the oceans?
solar energy — wind energy — surface currents
differences in water density
When water loses heat, it becomes denser and sinks.
upwelling
Warm water loses energy to its surroundings and cools.
