The sun.
The sun heats the water at equator and this warm water wants to move to where the cold water is located at the poles. As the warm water moves toward the pole, the cold water moves from the pole to the equator to back fill the moving water. This sets up a loop of water that moves in a large loop on the globe.

What are the factor that affect the climate of a place?
ocean currents
Does the ocean currents play a major role on earths rotation?
no
Which factor controls the water cycles?
energy from the sun

Why Yes They Do MY friend they do
What are the various factors responsible for ocean currents?
I only know one factor, the MOON
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What are three major surface currents?
Three major surface currents are the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific Ocean, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the Southern Ocean. These currents play a significant role in distributing heat and nutrients around the globe.
What are the seven major ocean currents north of the equator?
Alaska, Gulf stream, Norwegian, California, Labrador, Canary, and Kuroshio currents.
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
Describe how the rotation of earth modifies ocean currents in the northern hemisphere?
The rotation of the Earth causes the Coriolis effect, which deflects ocean currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere. This results in ocean currents flowing clockwise in the northern part of the ocean basins. The Coriolis effect influences the direction and shape of major ocean currents like the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift.
