what is the source of surface currents in the oceans? Is it mixing of water masses of differing temperature
1 answer
Ocean currents are due to prevailing winds, Coriolis forces that result from the rotation of the earth, water sinking in certain areas due to temperature differences, and (on a short term) tides. The dominant causes vary from place to place.
