They are surface currents, deep water currents. One moves water on the surface the other moves deep water.
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
The three major surface currents of the ocean are the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic, the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the Southern Ocean. These currents play a significant role in redistributing heat around the globe and influencing regional climates.
Surface currents are created by air currents, earth's rotation, and positions of the continents.
Deep ocean currents and surface currents do interact and influence each other. While they flow at different depths and have different driving factors (wind for surface currents and density for deep currents), they are connected through the global ocean circulation system. Changes in one can impact the other over time.
Surface currents near the equator typically flow east to west, driven by the trade winds. Near the poles, surface currents flow from west to east, driven by the westerlies. The Coriolis effect influences the direction of surface currents in both regions.
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form

Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
the sun and erosion
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
Surface currents play a major role in redistributing heat around the Earth, which helps regulate climate. They also affect marine life by transporting nutrients and influencing migration patterns. Additionally, surface currents can impact coastal erosion and shipping routes.
wind,earth's rotation,weather
surface currents moves bcoz
by the currents under it, if you have watches Finding Nemo (ARR) they go in the EAC East Atlantic Current, on the surface of this current, there is a similar current, although it is not as fast or as strong as Underwater in the eac.
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.
