Air currents are caused by the sun's uneven heating of the earth, Water Currents (mostly known as Ocean Currents) are generated by wind, density differs in water masses causes by temperature and salinity variations,gravity, and also events such as earthquakes
Currents of air can be caused by differences in temperature, pressure, or impurity concentration. Temperature differences can cause air currents because warmer air is less dense than cooler air, causing the warmer air to appear "lighter." Thus, if the warm air is under the cool air, air currents will form as they exchange places.
Essentially, yes: the Sun's heat creates convection-currents.
Differences in air temperature - creates air currents, as cold air moves to replace warm air (which rises). The movement of the air is what we feel as wind.
It is true. It is the temperature of the air that mainly creates currents of wind.
they are convection currents, caused by the heating effect of the earths core
The rotation of the Earth, coupled with the difference in temperature between the air and water, creates currents. Warm air and sea tend to flow towards the poles where the cooled air then flows back towards the equator. Land obstructions cause the currents to alter their course. The air is faster to warm up and cool down than the oceans, with surface water being affected more quickly than the deeper water.
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
Essentially, yes: the Sun's heat creates convection-currents.

A hurricane is not made out of wind . . . a hurricane is made from warm air currents and air moisture, and creates highs winds.

when a substance is cooler at the surface, the density increases in the substance.
Gravity causes the convection currents. Without gravity, convection would have been completely backwards. Gravity pushes the cold air down and stops the warm air going up.
Currents that form in heated air are similar to currents that form in warm water because heated air goes up and cold air goes down creating convection currents.
Turbidity currents create continental rises.
Quatic is when the ocean's currents get gigantic and creates a tsunami.
