Coriolis effect
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D

warm
Warm or cold defines the temperature of the water. In general warm currents flow north and cold currents flow south. That makes sense. Also warm currents flow on the surface and cold currents flow deep since cold water is denser than warm water.
The cold and warm water mixes and it forms a gulf stream and it starts to flow.
Suface currents form from the wind. The wind can make the surface cold or warm.
True. Surface currents can warm or cool the air above them, depending on the temperature of the current and the direction of the wind. Warm currents will typically warm the air above them, while cold currents will cool the air.
Surface currents move a lot of heat because they transport warm water from the equator towards the poles and cold water from the poles towards the equator. This helps distribute heat around the Earth, regulating temperatures and influencing weather patterns.
Compare and contrast surface currents and deep currents. They are both are moving water that flows through oceans. Surface currents are towards the top of the ocean, can be warm or cold, and are controlled by winds. Deep currents are low, deep in the ocean, cold, and are controlled by density.
Cold water is denser than warm water meaning that it moves more slowly and sinks. Therefore, the warm water currents of the oceans move faster and at the relative surface, meanwhile the cold water currents are at much deeper depths. Cold water doesn't have as much evaporation (meaning it slows and weakens hurricanes)
