Answer:

The velocity of the deep currents are much lesser compared to the surface currents. This causes a high difference in the water density along with temperature variance, and high salinity levels of the water at different locations.

Answer:

Speeds of surface currents can reach as high as 250 cm/sec (98 in/sec, or 5.6 mph) a maximum for the Gulf Stream, speeds of deep currents vary from 2 to 10 cm/sec (0.8 to 4 in/sec) or less.

Deep ocean currents are driven by density and temperature gradients. ... Because the movement of deep waterin ocean basins is caused by density-driven forces and gravity, deep waters sink into deep ocean basins at highlatitudes where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase.
