What is the most important cause of surface currents?
Wind over large expanses of water.
Steady winds that follow the same paths most of tnhe time can cause?
surface currents
What is the main cause of surface currents in earth?
convection
The wind stirs up currents?
Surface
How does energy in earths interior cause changes to earths surface?
The energy from the core of the earth causes currents in the molten layers, the way there are currents in the ocean. These currents are what causes the Tectonic Plates to move along the surface of the earth.

What cause surface currents?
Wind!
Steady winds that follow the same paths most of tnhe time can cause?
surface currents
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.

What is the most movement of water on the ocean's surface?
Surface Currents.
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
What is the cause of surface currents?
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
Why do large land areas cause surface currents to change direction?
because the surface currents move in huge circles ,they move clockwise in the northern hemisphere
The wind stirs up currents?
Surface
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
