Inhalant abusers risk an array of other devastating medical consequences. The highly concentrated chemicals in solvents or aerosol sprays can induce irregular and rapid heart rhythms and lead to fatal heart failure within minutes of a session of prolonged sniffing.
What causes ocean currents? Ocean currents result from two processes-the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement-a process known as convection. Convection occurs because the oceanic waters heat up becoming less dense. This water moves above the cooler water, and give off its heat to the surrounding environment. As it cools, it begins to sink, and the process begins again. Convection results in the continual circulation of ocean water on a global scale.
A long-shore current is an ocean current that moves parallel to shore. It is caused by swells sweeping into the shoreline at an angle and pushing water down the length of the beach in one direction.ong-shore currents are common at any beach that is exposed to breaking surf. They are responsible for many rescues along the coast by sweeping swimmers and surfers down the beach into a variety of hazards.
