no
What causes ocean waves currents?
Winds and subsea movement of water.
What factors affect currents?
Global Winds Coriolis EffectContinental Deflection
What are three factors that controles surface currents?
global winds, Coriolis effect, and continental deflection
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
What controls ocean currents?
Prevailing Winds.
What causes currents on the ocean?
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 causes currents to change direction?
Circulating winds
What Surface ocean currents are primarily formed by?
winds
