Which best explains the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents?(1 point)
Responses
Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents.
Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents.
Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect.
Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect.
Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents.
