by the currents under it, if you have watches Finding Nemo (ARR) they go in the EAC East Atlantic Current, on the surface of this current, there is a similar current, although it is not as fast or as strong as Underwater in the eac.
Surface currents can be very fast on water.
Winds and ocean currents move water parallel to Earth's surface. Winds can create surface currents through friction with the ocean's surface, while ocean currents are driven by a combination of factors such as wind, temperature, salinity, and the Earth's rotation.
The spheres that interact to form a surface current are the hydrosphere (oceans) and the atmosphere (wind). Surface currents are driven by the wind patterns on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the movement of water at the surface, creating ocean currents.
Surface currents are primarily driven by wind patterns. Winds transfer their energy to the surface of the ocean, creating friction that propels the movement of water. The Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, also influences the direction of surface currents.
That is the current theory of plate tectonics.
Surface Currents
Currents powered by wind are called wind-driven currents or wind-driven circulation. These currents are created by the friction between the wind and the surface of the water, causing the water to move in the direction of the wind.
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
What is a large wind driven surface currents that create circular movements in the ocean?

surface
Surface currents near the equator typically flow east to west, driven by the trade winds. Near the poles, surface currents flow from west to east, driven by the westerlies. The Coriolis effect influences the direction of surface currents in both regions.

Well, honey, a surface current is like the diva strutting her stuff on the runway - it's the flashy, visible movement of water caused by things like wind and tides. On the other hand, a deep current is more like the mysterious loner lurking in the shadows - it's the slow, hidden flow of water deep below the surface, driven by differences in temperature and salinity. So, in a nutshell, surface currents are the show-offs, while deep currents are the silent movers and shakers of the ocean.
