What would the pattern of the surface current be like if there were no continents?

Well it would most likely just change according to the wind and not according to where the continents lie

Why are the continents the shape they are?
The outlines of the continents would change drastically if the sea-levels rose or fell. They are the shape they are because of the amount of water on the surface of the earth. They are also the shape they are because the "land" sits on tectonic plates deep below the surface, and these plates move about - pushing land-masses together.
What will happen if continents combined?
that means we would have the Pangaea again *Pangaea was the supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras about 250 million years ago, before the component continents were separated into their current configuration.
What are two continents?
The contry that has two continents is Russia. The two continents in Russia are Europe and Asia. By the way you could have googled "The seven continents of the world" in images it would have been much quicker.

Is there a possibility that the current location of a continent would be different 100 years from now?
Yes. Continents are constantly moving, though at very low speeds, just a few inches in a year. In 100 years a continent would have moved, but not by a very large amount.
How did continents move across earth's surface?
they just do, if u were smart you would know this
Does taping an electrical wire to a surface ground the current?
That would depend on the surface: wood surface - noplastic surface - noungrounded metal surface - nogrounded metal surface - yesetc.
If there were no land on Earth's surface what would the pattern of surface currents look like?
Most of the ocean currents are affected by global winds and the Coriolis effect, which states that the apparent curving of the path from an otherwise straight path is due to the Earth's rotation. The movement of the ocean currents are also affected by the continents: because of global winds and the Coriolis effect, most of the ocean currents want to move a different way than they actually are because they are deflected off of the continents. An example is the South Equatorial Current and the Benguela Current flowing in a circular motion in between the east coast of South America and the West Coast of Africa. If these continents ceased to exist, the directions of the currents would change, based on the global winds in that area and the Coriolis Effect.
Which coast of North America would you find a cold surface current?
Yuit

dont know this is a hard one

Which continents would you find a tortiose?
You would find a tortoise on all continents except Antarctica.
Can a paper clip in a light socket kill you?
No, because there is no current path through your body and you would be on an insulated surface.
What are technique in art in which forms are rendered as surface pattern rather than how they would naturally appear?
A technique in art in which forms are rendered as surface patterns rather than how they would naturally appear are ________.
The evaporation of water from the surface of the oceans would tend to make the surface more salty Where would this water move in a current?
The salt water would move upward because salt water is less dense than non-saltwater.
What would happen if there were no continents?
There would be no land
