The main reason behind the formation of deep ocean current is that Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deep water currents. Currents may also be generated by density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations.

Hi mate
Question
What is the reason behind the dynamic of the ocean water?
Answer:
- The Ocean water is not still. There is a continuous vertical and horizontal movement of water.
- The horizontal continuous flow of a mass of a water from one place to another gives rise to an ocean current.
- Many factors are responsible for this movement of water. They are driven by density, temperature gradients, planetary wind etc.
- Due to uneven heating of the earth, surplus heat is accumulator at the equator which was the transferred to the poles through ocean current.
- The direction of flow of ocean current is also dependent on the continent the structure and the rotation of the earth.
- The shape and position of a coastline play a crucial role in guiding the direction of ocean current.
- The rotation of the earth results in the ocean current to move in clockwise direction in Northern hemisphere and anticlockwise and Southern hemisphere.
