what is the main cause most ocean currents on the waters surface
1 answer
The main cause of most ocean currents on the water's surface is wind. Wind drags on the surface of the ocean, creating friction and causing the water to move in the direction of the wind. Other factors such as the Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect), temperature gradients, and the shape of the ocean basins also play a role in the formation and direction of ocean currents.
