Question

What are the reason responsible for the formation of deep ocean currents?​

Answer 1

Hi mate

Oceanic currents are driven by three main factors:

• The rise and fall of the tides.

• Tides create a current in the oceans, which are strongest near the shore, and in bays and estuaries along the coast.

• Winds drive currents that are at or near the ocean's surface.

Answer 2

Answer:

Deep ocean currents are those water currents which flow beyond the depth of 500m, They constitute about 90% of the ocean water. They are driven by density and temperature gradients. This is also known as thermohaline circulation. The difference in temperatures of various parts of the ocean results into formation of the deep-sea currents. Warm water that has lower density comes to the surface of the sea while the Coldwater with high density goes down.
