Currents in the coastal water masses
Density currents circulate water because of density defferences.
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
why do density currents hapen?

Currents in the coastal water masses
Salinity and temperature
water density
Differences in temperature and in density of seawater drive deep ocean currents.
Density's role is to push the cloudy turbid water under the less dense surrounding water to start the turbidity currents
