i think wind is responsible for current
A surface current is a current caused by wind direction
I assume you are referring to oceanic currents (instead of electrical current). Oceanic current is divided into 2 types: Surface Ocean Current -- affected by wind. Deep Ocean Current --cause by water density (mineral rich vs clearer water) and temperature gradient (differences in heat)
A current map, or ocean current map, would be used to depict the speed and direction of ocean currents. These maps illustrate the movement of surface ocean water across regions and are important for understanding ocean circulation patterns.
The spheres that interact to form a surface current are the hydrosphere (oceans) and the atmosphere (wind). Surface currents are driven by the wind patterns on the ocean's surface. The wind causes the movement of water at the surface, creating ocean currents.

The three factors that control the path of a surface current are wind direction, the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), and the shape of the coastline or the presence of land masses. These factors influence the direction and strength of surface currents in the ocean.
Materials and energy
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.
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
An upwelling is a current in the ocean that brings deep, cold water to the ocean surface.
Continents can affect surface currents by causing them to deflect due to the Coriolis effect. This effect is caused by Earth's rotation and causes surface currents to change direction as they flow around land masses. The shape and location of continents can also influence the direction and strength of surface currents by creating barriers or channels for the flow of ocean water.
Surface currents are primarily affected by wind patterns, Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), temperature differences, and the shape of the coastline. These factors can influence the speed and direction of surface currents in different parts of the ocean.
