By the currents themselves - water contains oxygen (hence H2O), and nutrients, thanks to decaying (biotic) matter which, yes, contains nutrients even when no longer living.

Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
How are ocean currents measured?
In the unit that they measure ocean currents.
What are the three types of ocean currents?
There are only two type of Ocean Currents: 1. Surface Currents- 10% of the water in the ocean 2. Deep Water Currents- 90% of the water in the ocean
How are ocean currents like wind currents?
they are both currents.

What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
What are three example of matter besides water that are transported by ocean currents?
energy
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.
In which ocean do equatorial currents flow?
The warm, low salinity waters from Pacific are transported into Indian Ocean's South Equatorial Current.
What is the difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

What is air and ocean currents?
Air is a invisible gaseous substance surrounding the earth, a mixture mainly of oxygen and nitrogen. Ocean currents the steady flow of surface ocean water in a prevailing direction.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
How does ocean life affect ocean currents?
It's more likely the other way around. Ocean currents affect ocean life. Perhaps in a subtle way, since all life on the planet affects the atmosphere, especially the algae in the oceans releasing oxygen, that ocean life affects the weather, which in turn affects the ocean currents. It's also possible that some "seaweed forests" slow the movement of currents.
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
What advantages of ocean currents?
advantage of ocean currents
