It gives us hot and cold temperatures on earth.
Your mom is the way surface currents affect weather
Surface currents play a major role in redistributing heat around the Earth, which helps regulate climate. They also affect marine life by transporting nutrients and influencing migration patterns. Additionally, surface currents can impact coastal erosion and shipping routes.
Surface
The higher up in elevation a place is, the colder it will be. As for surface currents, I have no clue.
Continents can block the flow of surface currents, creating barriers that deflect the currents in different directions. They can also influence the direction and speed of currents by shaping the coastlines and creating deep ocean basins that can channel currents. Additionally, continents can impact the distribution of heat and moisture, which can affect the intensity and direction of surface currents.

Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.

Surface currents affect weather patterns, ocean temperature distribution, and marine ecosystems. They play a key role in transporting heat and nutrients around the world and can impact the climate of coastal regions.
Continents can affect surface currents by causing them to deflect due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by Earth's rotation and causes surface currents to change direction as they flow around land masses. The shape and location of continents can also influence the direction and strength of surface currents by creating barriers or channels for the flow of ocean water.
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
