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

The best explanation of the relationship between ocean currents and convection currents is:
Convection currents join with the Coriolis effect to create the winds that drive ocean currents.
This response accurately reflects how the warming and cooling of ocean water create convection currents that, along with the Coriolis effect, influence wind patterns, which in turn drive the surface ocean currents.
