What is the definition to surface currents?
surface currents are horizontal, steamlike movements of water that are found at or near the surface of the ocean
Where are currents found?
A surface current is found at the surface of the ocean caused by wind patterns.
Are wind-driven currents found near the surface of the ocean or in the deep waters of oceans?
surface
What are Currents powered by wind called?
Surface Currents
What causes the continuous flow of surface currents?
Surface currents in the ocean are the continuous movements of water found at the surface to just a few feet below. These currents are generated by the planet's prevailing winds-which are a direct result of the Sun's radiation and Earth's rotation.
What causes ocean currents on the surface?
Surface currents in the ocean are the continuous movements of water found at the surface to just a few feet below, these currents are generated by the planet's prevailing winds-which are a direct result of the Sun's radiation and Earth's rotation.
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz

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.
