Question

formation of ocean currents ​

Answer 1

Ocean currents can be generated by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes. Currents are cohesive streams of seawater that circulate through the ocean.

Answer 2

When the wind blows persistently in a particular direction, the wind stress on the sea surface causes the water in the upper layer to move bodily and a current is thereby formed. ... These density currents are not independent of winds, however, because the wind-induced currents themselves alter the density distributions.
