Currents are caused by two different ways. One is the force of wind on the surface of the water and the second is from different water temperatures that causes movement (convection). There are different strengths of a current depending on the cause. Winds are the biggest factor, but tides, precipitation, evaporation rates, shape of the ocean floor, and inflow from rivers and adjacent seas are also important. -thanks!;)
