The sun heats the water, causing cold / hot circulation, and evaporation. It also heats the air, causing wind, which also moves currents.

How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.
What are surface currents powered by?
The sun causes currents in the ocean because it is warming the water in the ocean in the day while it is hot, and then in the night when the sun goes down, the ocean starts to cool. Since the air above the water is warmer than in the water, this causes the water to rise up to the warmth until it gets cooled by the night, or from rain. This is what created movement and currents in the ocean from the sun.
What impact do ocean currents have on the transfer of energy and climate?
ocean currents transfer energy and climate through the sun and the ocean tide. they also transfer heat and oxygen through water currents.
Explain how heat energy carried by ocean currents influences climate?
The ocean currents carry it ................................................if i knew I wouldn't tell you suckers ;)

What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
The energy that creates surface ocean currents comes from prevailing winds?
True
What is the primary source of energy for ocean currents and waves?
Ocean currents at the SURFACE -- their primary cause is SOLAR ENERGY. Due to solar energy, much of the wind pattern originates and this wind pattern in turn causes ocean currents on the surface.
