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.

What are deep ocean currents primarily driven by?
Temperature differences in water
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.
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
What characteristics of deep ocean currents affect their motion?
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
Where in the ocean do deep currents flow?
In the ocean floor.
