Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents.
* While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.

What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?
The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.

An increase in wind causes this current to increase What type of current is it?
Convection is the process that causes warm air to rise and cold air to sink. As such, the winds caused by this process are called convection currents.
