What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
Where do cold water currents begin?
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
What is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
How do ocean currents affect air temperature in coastal areas?
Warm Ocean currents warms the air above it and some move from the tropic towards both poles ---------------------------------------------------------AND----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold Ocean currents also affect weather patterns by bringing cold water from polar to the equator

Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
