convection currents in the atmosphere
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.

Earth's tilt
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D

Earth's tilt
Yes, convection currents connect the poles all the way to the equator.

Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
It is hotter near the equator and cooler near the poles. It is this difference between warm and cold currents that cause the ocean currents - helped slightly by the rotation of the earth - to flow across the oceans of the world.
