Gravity, tides (essentially gravity also). Man made forces could include pumps and directing gravity as in irrigation channels.

The 3 forces that create water currents?

Dudes and dudets heres the answer- it is created by of course shitting.Hahaha just kidding man.


Why are the earth's winds and ocean currents important to life on the planet?

There are many different forces that create ocean currents. Among them are: the earth's rotation, salinity differences, wind, density differences, and buoyant forces. Temperature differences can create some of these differences, but we would have ocean currents even if the oceans were a uniform temperature.


Where do warm water currents start to form?

They start to form when different leveled currents create pressure and the water quickly jutts so create a type of friction which is heat.


How does water temperature differences create deep water currents?

Deep-ocean currents are affected by wind, temperature and earths rotation.


Which current is water moving from place to place near or at the top of the sea?

With water or oceanic currents, the currents which move close to the surface of the sea are called surface currents. In such currents, wind acts on the water and the water piles up to form strong movement forces.


Do warm water surface currents create warm climates in coastal areas?

no


What forces are responsible for tidal currents and are they predicable?

The forces that are responsible are Horizontal Surface Currents. They can be unpredictable.


What natural forces can create sediment?

Water and ice


How are currents different from waves?

Currents are a small source of water moving and waves are a bigger source of water moving. The waves are control (more or less made) by the wind where as the waves control and create the currents which is pretty strange. Currents are the one associated with the movement of water where as Waves carry only Energy i.e. NO mass transport


How does the cold and warm water affect the ocean?

They create currents and micro climates for different sea life.


How does currents create a garbage patch in the ocean?

eddy currents


Are thermohaline currents surface or deep water currents?

deepwater currents
