I would like to find out what are the causes of ocean circulation. can someone plzz tell mii
clockwiseThe circulation of ocean currents in the Southern Hemisphere is generally:counter clockwise
the Coriolis Effect affect ocean circulation because weather movement are rotating with the earth.
The driving force of deep-ocean circulation is primarily the sinking of cold, dense water at high latitudes due to its higher density. This process is known as thermohaline circulation, where temperature and salinity differences create variations in water density, causing water masses to sink and drive the global ocean circulation.
Deep ocean circulation(90% of ocean water) is caused by differences in temperature, salinity and suspended load. It is referred to as "Thermohaline"- meaning heat and salt- circulation.

Atmospheric forcing, such as wind and temperature changes, can affect ocean circulation by influencing the movement of surface waters and the formation of ocean currents. These forces can drive the mixing of water masses, impact the distribution of heat and nutrients, and play a role in shaping the overall circulation patterns of the ocean.
Thermohaline circulation is also called overturning circulation. It is driven by density. The time scale for thermohaine is 1000 years.
