What causes an uneven isolation that results in global wind currents?
Earths Tilt
What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
What causes the global convection current between the equations 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 global warming affect the marine biome?
it is incresing the average sea temperature and changing the pattern of the sea currents
What is the global ocean?
The simplified pattern of ocean currents,looks like a conveyor belt,moving water between the oceans

If there were no land on Earth's surface what would the pattern of surface currents look like?
Most of the ocean currents are affected by global winds and the Coriolis effect, which states that the apparent curving of the path from an otherwise straight path is due to the Earth's rotation. The movement of the ocean currents are also affected by the continents: because of global winds and the Coriolis effect, most of the ocean currents want to move a different way than they actually are because they are deflected off of the continents. An example is the South Equatorial Current and the Benguela Current flowing in a circular motion in between the east coast of South America and the West Coast of Africa. If these continents ceased to exist, the directions of the currents would change, based on the global winds in that area and the Coriolis Effect.
What are Global Convection Currents and How do this affect the Global Convection Cells?

Do global winds directly cause deep currents?
NO. :)
