The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon and earth.
Direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.

What are four factors that affect temperature?
Four factors that determine the climate of an area are distance from the sea, ocean currents, direction of prevailing winds, and the relief of the area. The proximity to the equator also plays a role in the climate of an area.
What are four factors that affected the climate of a region?
- Latitude - Ocean Currents - Altitude - Bodies of Water - Mountain Barriers
What are the three factors that influence the direction of winds and surface currents?
Glocal winds: they occur when different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. The coriolis effect: The apparent curving of the path of a moving object from an otherwise straight path due to the Earth's rotation. Continental deflections: When surface currents meet continents, the currents deflect, or change direction.
What are the four main factors that affect temperature?
* Air temperature * Humidity * Radiant Heat (direct heat radiating from an object such as an oven or even the sun) * Air Velocity
What are the four bodies of water?
the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean, the Indian ocean, and the artic ocean
What are three factor that control deep currents?
The four factors that cause ocean currents: (1) Planet rotation, (2) Wind, (3) Density of the water (depends on temperature and salinity), and (4) Gravitation of the moon. Also the direction and strength depends on the shape of the shoreline, depth and shape of the bottom, and other currents.

What are four features of the ocean?
turbidity currents deposit sediments on the ocean floor

What are the four currents on earth?
Electric, Ocean, Wind and Heat.
What are four kinds of motion in the ocean?
Waves, whirlpools, tides, and currents.
How many seasons does a ocean have?
The ocean does not have seasons like on land. Instead, it experiences different patterns and conditions that are influenced by factors such as wind, currents, and temperature variations.
What is the temperature of ocean currents off of Canada's western coast?
positive four to positive 10. -hadiya
What four types of currents can you find on Earth?
i know of three: electric, ocean, and wind.... i hope this helps
What types of currents are on Earth?
I know four ,but I'm pretty sure this could help. I know water currents, air currents, heat currents, and electric currents. This would probably go along with water current, but anyways there is also a ocean current. . :D
