electrochemistry, drift current is the electric current, or movement of charge carriers, which is due to the applied electric field, often stated as the electromotive...

Longshore drift from longshore current is a geological process that consists of the transportation of sediments (clay, silt, pebbles, sand, shingle, shells)...

of a drift current. The diffusion current and drift current together are described by the drift–diffusion equation. It is necessary to consider the part...

The North Atlantic Current (NAC), also known as North Atlantic Drift and North Atlantic Sea Movement, is a powerful warm western boundary current within...

direction; this is the drift. Drift velocity is proportional to current. In a resistive material, it is also proportional to the magnitude of an external...

carrying a current of 5 A, the drift velocity of the electrons is on the order of a millimetre per second. To take a different example, in the near-vacuum...

Drift mining is either the mining of an ore deposit by underground methods, or the working of coal seams accessed by adits driven into the surface outcrop...

the process of longshore drift by longshore currents. The drift occurs due to waves meeting the beach at an oblique angle, moving sediment down the beach...

Drift diving is a type of scuba diving where the diver is transported by the water movement caused by the tide, an ocean current or in a river. The choice...

The Battle of Rorke's Drift, also known as the Defence of Rorke's Drift, was an engagement in the Anglo-Zulu War. The successful British defence of the...

Drifting is a driving technique where the driver intentionally oversteers, with loss of traction, while maintaining control and driving the car through...

Genetic drift, also known as random genetic drift, allelic drift or the Wright effect, is the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant (allele)...

set and drift, one needs to first understand currents. Ocean currents are the horizontal movements of water from one location to another. The movement...

Continental Drift is a 2012 American animated adventure comedy film produced by Blue Sky Studios and distributed by 20th Century Fox. It is the sequel to...

near the surface or not far below it. Floats on the floatline and weights on the groundline keep them vertical. Drift nets drift with the current while...

that the drift direction is opposite for ions as for electrons, resulting in a current. In a fluid picture, it is this current crossed with the magnetic...

allowed to drift with ocean currents. The ultimate origin of buoys is unknown, but by 1295 a seaman's manual referred to navigation buoys in the Guadalquivir...

float at the surface allows the divers to move freely in the water column within the constraint of the tether, and drift with the current. The tethers...

measuring the velocity of the electrons in a gas (drift velocity) there are special drift chambers, velocity drift chambers, which measure the drift time for...

Continental drift is the theory, originating in the early 20th century, that Earth's continents move or drift relative to each other over geologic time. The theory...
