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.

Describe the force that drives most surface currents?
Wind
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 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 happens when surface currents meet continents?
The current is deflecte due to the lack of force in the current.
What force between the ocean the wind causes surface currents?
Ocean currents are dure to a cobination of wind, the Corilis effect, and temperature differences.

Can water can help wear away bits of surface rock?
yes, the force of the currents can slowely wear it down
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.
What force of gravitational force?
The gravitational force depends on the masses involved and on the distance between them. In the case of an object close to Earth's surface, the force is approximately 9.8 newton per kilogram.
