What else can I help you with?
Are density currents faster than surface currents?
no, density currents flow slower than surface currents because surface currents are powered by the wind ;)
What type of current is caused by wind on the oceans surface?
Surface ocean currents are caused by winds. As wind blows across the surface, the wind pulls the water and causes waves.
How do surface currents move?
surface currents moves bcoz
What are stream-like movements of water at or near the surface of the ocean called?
Stream like movements of water at tor near the surface of the ocean are called currents. A current's direction and strength is influenced by depth contours, shoreline configurations and interaction with other currents.

What is the 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 forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
What are wind driven currents?
Surface Currents
What causes the convection current between the poles and the equator?
Surface currents are caused by wind, and affected by the rotation of the Earth and the gravity of the moon (tides). When the oceans are deep, convection within the layers can also affect the flow of currents. * While wind currents are greatly affected by uneven heating of the Earth's surface, there is no corresponding heating of the ocean bottom by the Sun. So currents do not form spontaneously at depth.
What causes the global convection current between the equations and the poles?
