Question

Temperature, salinity and density are factors that form a. deep currents c. surface currents b. wind currents d. deflection currents Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer 1

Temperature, salinity and density are factors that form deep currents.

Answer 2

Temperature, salinity and density are factors that form surface currents. The answer is C. Surface currents.

The surface water of ocean is always in motion. It is displaced primarily by wind velocity which creates a pattern due to Earth’s spinning.

The “Coriolis Effect” is another reason for the motion. The motion is responsible for surface currents.
