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.

Currents are mainley caused by?

Surface ocean currents are mainly wind-driven and occur in all of the world's oceans. Examples of large surface currents that move across vast expanses of ocean are the Gulf Stream, the North Atlantic Current, the California Current, the Atlantic South Equatorial Current, and the Westwind Drift. --- Vertical and ocean-bottom currents are mainly driven by density differences caused by changes in temperature and salinity.

What is 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.
