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.
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.

Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
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.
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
