Question

Explain the factors that cause ocean currents

Answer 1

Outside of Earth's equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth's rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon).

Answer 2

The main effect of temperature differences on the earth occur in the north-south direction i.e from equator to pole..Oceanic factors include the pressure gradient,temperature variations and salinity differences..
