How deep currents form and move in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
Do deep ocean currents and surface currents mix?
Deep ocean currents and surface currents do meet, but mixing is limited. The waters stratify based on temperatures and salinity. The higher the salinity, the heavier the water.
What are the three types of ocean currents?
There are only two type of Ocean Currents: 1. Surface Currents- 10% of the water in the ocean 2. Deep Water Currents- 90% of the water in the ocean
How do deep currents move in an ocean?
The ocean currents known since antiquity are called surface currents. Though these are invaluable to shipping, they are superficial and occupy only a small fraction of the ocean's waters. The majority of the ocean's currents take the form of a temperature- and salinity-driven "conveyor belt" that slowly churns water within the abyssal depths. These loops of water circulation are called deep currents.
How is a deep ocean current formed?
I think ocean currents are formed because the pull of the moon,well actually waves are formed that way but I think it's the same thing.
Are wind-driven currents found near the surface of the ocean or in the deep waters of oceans?
surface
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What drives deep ocean currents are driven?
Deep ocean circulation(90% of ocean water) is caused by differences in temperature, salinity and suspended load. It is referred to as "Thermohaline"- meaning heat and salt- circulation.
Where do deep currents flow along in the ocean?
deep ocean currents form by the differences in the density of ocean water
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
What is difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

Deep ocean currents are created by cold water rising sinking or staying the same?
deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night.
What is the depth of surface currents?
deep in the ocean
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
What characteristics of deep ocean currents affect their motion?
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
Where in the ocean do deep currents flow?
In the ocean floor.
