Answer:
An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences. Depth contours, shoreline configurations, and interactions with other currents influence a current's direction and strength. Ocean currents are primarily horizontal water movements.

Answer:
deep ocean current are driven by density and temperature gradients.....surface currents are found on the surface of an ocean,and are driven by large scale winds currents.they are directly affected by the wind__the coriolis effects plays a role in their behaviour
