wind.
Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).

Which of the folling can form in the geosphere and carry heat from earth mantle toward the surface conduction currents infared currents convection currents or surface currents?
in the atmosphere.
How do suface currents form?
Suface currents form from the wind. The wind can make the surface cold or warm.
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 the surface currents form what happens to the deep ocean currents?
of course i can answer this question... what am i stupid? haha yeah i have no idea
Which earth system does the ocean interact with to form surface currents?
Surface currents are caused by the friction of wind on the water. The currents are also affected by the Coriolis Effect, which is the apparent deflection of objects moving in a straight path relative to the earth's surface.
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
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 do convection currents resulting from uneven heating of Earth's surface form?
wind
How surface currents formed?
wind.Surface currants form by global winds, Coriolis effect (earth's rotation) and continental deflections (surface currents meet continents they change direction).
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.
Which current is water moving from place to place near or at the top of the sea?
With water or oceanic currents, the currents which move close to the surface of the sea are called surface currents. In such currents, wind acts on the water and the water piles up to form strong movement forces.
