The relationship between the density of ocean water and the formation of deep currents. Differences in the temperature and salinity and the resulting differences in density cause variations in the movement of deep currents. For example, the deepest current, the Antarctic Bottom Water, is denser than the North Atlantic Deep Water. Both currents spread out across the ocean floor as they flow toward each other. Because less dense water always flows on top of denser water, the North Atlantic Deep Water flows on top of the Antarctic Bottom Water when the currents meet.

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.
What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
What causes deep ocean surface currents?
The gravitation pull on the earth.
How do deep ocean currents occur?
It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
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 the 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.
