What force between the ocean and wind causes surface currents?
;
A force between the ocean and the wind causes what type surface currents?
friction
What is 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.

What force is involved in the development of surface currents?
The Moon
What provides the force that causes magma to the surface?
Magma is propelled to the surface by temperature differences, which cause convection currents. The temperature differences result from radioactive elements within the mantle.
Describe the force that drives most surface currents?
Wind
What forces causes natural convection currents?
gravitational force

What is the primary force that causes the sea-floor to spread?
Convection currents
What primarily drives the surface ocean currents?
The driving force behind surface currents is the wind. The wind happens naturally due to the constant rotating of the Earth.
What provides the force that causes magma to erupt to the surface?
Magma is propelled to the surface by temperature differences, which cause convection currents. The temperature differences result from radioactive elements within the mantle.
