Question

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

Answer 1

The best explanation of the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents is: Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.

This statement reflects how warm and cold water movement due to convection (hot water rising and cold water sinking) interacts with the Coriolis effect, which influences the direction and pattern of ocean currents.
