What is the most movement of water on the ocean's surface?
Surface Currents.
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control?
Coriolis effect global winds and continental deflections are all factors that control surface currents.
What factors set surface ocean currents into motions?
Factors that set surface ocean currents into motions are the global circulation cells (Hadley, Ferrel, Polar), the Coriolis effect, and the continental deflection.
What is the difference between surface and deep water currents?
The energy that drives the movement of the water
What are three factors that affect the surface ocean currents?
Continental deflections,the Coriolis effect and global winds all effect surface ocean currents.
How does a continent affect the movement of a surface current?
When surface currents meet continents the current changes directions.
What factors determine the path of surface oceans currents?

What three factors that affect surface ocean currents?
the sun and erosion
What are 3 things that cause surface currents?
The three factors which control surface currents are the following:Global windsContinental deflection and temperatureThe Coriolis effect
What is the difference between waves and currents?
when the surface of the sea is distributed, waves are produced. waves are seen moving on the surface of water but actually their movement is not extensive and the movement of water from one part of the ocean to another gives rise to currents.
What is SMC in aviation?
its surface movement control
Which current is water moving from place to place near or at the top of the sea?
With water or oceanic currents, the currents which move close to the surface of the sea are called surface currents. In such currents, wind acts on the water and the water piles up to form strong movement forces.
