What is the cause of density currents?

Sagot :

Answer:

Oceanic currents are driven by three main factors:

  • The rise and fall of the tides. Tides create a current in the oceans, which are strongest near the shore, and in bays and estuaries along the coast.
  • The rise and fall of the tides. Tides create a current in the oceans, which are strongest near the shore, and in bays and estuaries along the coast.Wind. Winds drive currents that are at or near the ocean's surface.

Answer:

Some density currents occur because they contain higher amounts of suspended sediments than the surrounding water. Such density currents, called turbidity currents, are believed to form when the accumulation of sediments on continental shelves becomes unstable as a result of an underwater landslide or earthquake.

Explanation:

What causes a density current in the ocean?

Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms. ... These currents move water masses through the deep ocean—taking nutrients, oxygen, and heat with them.
