Respuesta :

I’m sure it’s D because Deep ocean currents are density-driven and differ from surface currents in scale, speed, and energy. But, if I’m wrong then chances are it’s C

The correct option for the question is B. The surface currents are wind-driven whereas deep ocean currents depend on water density/salinity.

What are surface currents and deep ocean currents?

Current can be defined as the stream of moving water that flows through the ocean. Surface currents are caused by the wind.

On the other hand, the deep ocean currents are caused by the density or salinity of the water and the water temperature.

Therefore the correct option is B.
