Answer 2

[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

Prevailing winds produce ocean currents through the combination of heat from the sun, the angle of Earth's axis, and Earth's rotation. These factors work together to create circulation patterns of warm and cool air, which in turn create currents in the oceans. Tornadoes, on the other hand, do not directly cause circulation patterns of warm and cool air that produce ocean currents.
