Surface Ocean currents are primarily caused by

• temperature and salinity

• wind

• convection

• continental drift

Tags

Deep Ocean currents are primarily caused by

• temperature and salinity

• wind

• gravity

• precipitation

Salinity is

• The salt content of a substance

• The Pepper content of a substance

• The circulation of hot and cold matter

• the weather pattern of a region

Differences in water temperature create movement in the Ocean because

• bodies of water at different temperature have different densities.

• warm water is pulled more by the force of gravity then cold water is.

• warm and cold water mix until they reach the same temperature.

• The ocean just likes to "move-it move-it".
