Surface currents in the ocean are the continuous movements of water found at the surface to just a few feet below, these currents are generated by the planet's prevailing winds-which are a direct result of the Sun's radiation and Earth's rotation.

What are causes of the ocean currents?
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
What causes ocean currents and why is it important?
waves
What causes mild climates in Europe?
ThE ocean currents
What ocean current causes warming?
up currents
HOW does the Coriolis effect impact ocean currents in the southern and northern hemisphere?
In the northern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the right. In the southern hemisphere, the Coriolis effect causes ocean currents to be deflected to the left. This deflection leads to the clockwise rotation of ocean currents in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise rotation in the southern hemisphere.
How do deep ocean currents occur?
It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.
What effect causes ocean currents to curve to the right or the left?
the answer is Coriolis
What causes deep ocean surface currents?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
What causes ocean waves currents?
Winds and subsea movement of water.
What causes the formation of the two type of ocean currents?
The MOON and SUN
What is directly related to deep ocean current?
Movement of the ocean, or tides are directly related to deep ocean currents. Deep ocean currents are also responsible for the wind that causes the waves to crash into the shore.
