Deep ocean currents in oceans are caused by a large amount of sinking surface water. Surface water is the upper layer of water closest to the top surface. The sun can easily reach this top layer, heat up the surface water and evaporate some of the water. When the surface water becomes e...

Mooring data collected on the continental slope of the South China Sea show that along-slope deep sea bottom currents are generated when large spring internal tides (internal waves with tidal frequency) are observed, with the maximum velocity amplitude exceeding 0.15 m/s. The observations are ...

Note that the effects of ocean currents and the Coriolis force are not taken into consideration. Density cascading also explains how periplatform muds accumulate at rapid rates along the western margin of the Great Bahama Bank and the southwestern Florida shelf in the presence of strong surface ...
Its snake-like design allows it to work in small spaces and wriggle (扭动) its body to stay in place in strong currents. By staying under the sea, it can carry out tasks whatever the conditions on the surface of the ocean.The global underwater robotics market is expected to be worth ...
An auto-cyclic progressive process of eroding and filling by turbidity currents results in the scouring-filling and vertical overlay; bottom currents are responsible for the remarkable asym- metry between the two flanks of canyons; and faults are inherent dynamic forces triggering these can yons. It...
These semi-permanent currents show significant variability in time and space, marked by periodic benthic storm events in areas of high surface kinetic energy. Six different drift types are recognized in the ocean basins and margins at depths greater than about 300 m: (i) contourite sheet drifts...
Contourite drifts are large sedimentary bodies deposited by bottom currents, where their evolution indicates variations on ocean circulation through geological time2. Contourite drifts of distinct morphologies (i.e. mounded, plastered, and sheeted drifts; Supplementary Fig. 1) are widely identified in...
