Because the oceans cover most of the earth's surface do the ocean currents transport most of the earth's energy from one region to another?

Do sailor depend on surface currents to transport them?
No
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What distributes heat from one region to another?
Surface currents
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz
Why do large land areas cause surface currents to change direction?
because the surface currents move in huge circles ,they move clockwise in the northern hemisphere
What primarily drives the surface ocean currents?
The driving force behind surface currents is the wind. The wind happens naturally due to the constant rotating of the Earth.
What is difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
