Ocean currents are primarily created by a combination of wind patterns, the Earth's rotation, and differences in water temperature and salinity. Wind-driven surface currents are influenced by the prevailing winds that push water across the ocean's surface. Additionally, the Coriolis effect, resulting from the Earth's rotation, causes currents to curve. Deep ocean currents are driven by thermohaline circulation, where variations in water density, caused by temperature and salinity differences, lead to the movement of water masses.
What else can I help you with?
What percentage of the oceans currents are surface currents?
73
Q What is the driving force of currents in the oceans and atmosphere A Equal hating of the Earth by the Sun B Solar radiation heating only the oceans C Solar radiation heating only the land surfaces D?
B. Solar radiation is the driving force behind currents in the oceans and atmosphere. The differential heating between the equator and the poles creates atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns that drive currents around the globe.
