What kinds of ocean currents might cause seafloor spreading?
Ocean currents have no effect whatsoever. Seafloor spreading is caused by convection currents in the rock of the earth's mantle.
What is the cause of oceanic currents?
Ocean currents are caused by various factors. They are made from earthquakes, winds, tides and differences in density. The currents of the ocean have an effect on the weather.

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.
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.

What current does the box jellyfish move on?
The box jelly will move on natural ocean currents. But note that this species of jelly is, in general, a good swimmer as jellyfish go. They follow ocean currents, but use their natural swimming ability and their senses to direct them along or even across currents in search of food or mates.
