    Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms.

    Explanation:

    ... Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deepwater currents.

    The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect-a force that results from the rotation of the Earth-deflects them ... In contrast to wind-driven surface currents, deep-ocean currents are caused by differences in water density.
