Question

What is the main reason that the water moves?

Answer 1

what do you mean like why the water moves straight up asking like that

Answer 2

well I am learning about surface ocean currents and and the global ocean conveyor and I was The questions asks how water mainly moves and I was just confused.
Does that make sense?

Answer 3

some of the other questions were like what is salinity, and what two main factors contribute to global movement of oceans waters

Answer 4

well i know that water naturally makes waves because of the sun for some odd reason the sun seams to power it up and cause it to form waves and also the wind i guess if that help idk thats an odd question

Answer 5

i thought that waves were from gravitational pull from them moon?

Answer 6

oh wait ya i mixed it up lol

Answer 7

sorry lmao

Answer 8

but ya its pulled from the moon not the sun

Answer 9

I think it has something to do with Thermohaline Circulation, but idk which is why I asked the question..

Answer 10

but im not 100% sure….

Answer 11

Well , its not moves they are waves

Answer 12

it has to do with global circulation and surface currents, im not sure how exactly

Answer 13

and they are many reasons for theys waves lets say that waves moves from a place to another so first reason they move from air or wind to water

Answer 14

ya

Answer 15

second reason moon effect , moon has light waves that can pull light
which cuz water waves

Answer 16

third reason , heat
the sun heat air and water which makes waves

Answer 17

ok, I think that is global circulation, so that is what I am going to put. It was just confusing because of all the references to salinity, density, temperature and whatnot…

Answer 18

that also make waves :)

Answer 19

ok great! thank you!

Answer 20

np :)
