Prevailing winds are caused by the combination of Earth's rotation and the uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun. As warm air rises near the equator and cool air sinks near the poles, a global pattern of circulating air is created. These prevailing winds push the surface waters of the ocean in the direction they are blowing, creating ocean currents.
