Question
How does the Sun affect the movement of water molecules to create motion in the ocean?
Answers
The Sun's energy causes water molecules to evaporate from the ocean surface. This causes a decrease in the density of the water, which creates a pressure gradient that drives the ocean currents. The Sun's energy also causes winds to blow across the ocean surface, which further drives the ocean currents.
