Is the heavy waves caused by a hurricane called rip tides?
No, rip tides are not caused by heavy waves from hurricanes. Rip tides, also known as rip currents, are swift, narrow currents flowing away from the shore. They are typically caused by complex interactions between waves, currents, and geography, and can be dangerous for swimmers and surfers.
Which type of current results from underwater landslides?
Turbidity currents
What causes convection currents it the mantle?
Heat from the core and the mantle itself causes convection currents in earth's mantle.
What causes both earthquakes and volcanoes?
Convection currents.
Do energy from the moon causes winds and ocean currents?
no
Are rip currents dangerous?
Yes, rip currents are very dangerous. Several people die each year after being caught in these currents.
What causes convection currents to form in Earth's atmosphere?
Solar energy

How do you get out of rip currents?
try to swim to the left or the right
What are the heavy waves caused by the hurricane called?
They are actually called a Storm Surge, and it is due to the low pressure associated with a hurruicane which causes a rise in sea surface level which is then whipped up by the strong hurricane force winds. (Rip tides, or rip currents, are strong surface currents flowing seaward from a shore in some places, and are not generally associated with hurricanes.)
Compare the causes and effects of deep currents and surface currents?
deep currents form when dense water neat the poles sinks and flows slowly along the ocea floor
What is the difference between ocean current and rip current?
Ocean currents are currents that move across the globe from one temperature zone to another. Rip currents are localized currents caused by a combination of tides and waves agains the shore line where the water is shallow.
What are the disadvantages of ocean currents?
they cause drownings and rip tides
What are 4 different types of rip currents?
Fixed - travelling -
What causes global convection currents to form?
Differences in temperature on earth
Which type of current results from underwater landslides?
Turbidity currents
What are ocean currents that suddenly appear and disappear?
rip current
