Hot water is less dense than cold water,
gravity takes care of the rest.

How does uneven heating of the earth cause ocean currents?
I have exactly no idea. LOL. TRICKED YOU. sorry.
How does the sun cause ocean currents on the Earth?
ummm...i think the sun powers the wind, and the wind powers the currents. that's what all of my sources say, but if im wrong, then.....well yeah you get the point.
What causes currents to flow between the poles and the equator?
Uneven solar heating
What cause the global convection current between the equation and the poles?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.

How does the uneven heating in the ocean cause convection currents?
it causes the difference in density, denser water flows to the less dense parts
What causes forces that affect currents in the ocean?
the uneven heating of the earth and change in the weather.
What is responsible for the uneven heating drives wind and ocean currents from day to day?
Earth's tilt
What powers surface ocean currents?
Uneven heating from the sun.
Which of these is a direct result of uneven heating of water in the oceans due to solar energy A. Salt in any ocean B. Ocean tides C. icebergs D. Ocean currents?
D Ocean currents.

Uneven solar heating
What is Major source of energy that powers the convection currents in the atmosphere and ocean?
Vertical convection in both the ocean and atmosphere is caused by uneven HEATing.The source of energy for convection in the ocean and atmosphere is heating from the sun.
