Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents.
Ocean currents create a Coriolis effect that increases convection currents.

Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.
Convection currents use the Coriolis effect to generate ocean currents.

Ocean currents rely on warm convection currents to strength the Coriolis effect.

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 option accurately reflects how the movement of water due to convection (due to temperature differences) interacts with the Coriolis effect, which influences the direction of ocean currents.
