It is from differing temperatures of air above it that causes currents to flow in the water.

Why do deep ocean currents occur?
My best guess is that they occur because of warming and cooling of the surface temperature. I am sure there is a pattern of these deep ocean currents to and from the equator and the poles.
How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What forms surface ocean currents?
Ocean currents is what forms surface currents. This starts deep in the ocean.
What is difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Deep ocean currents are in the depths of the oceans. Surface current are at the surface, not deep down. Deep ocean currents bring vitamins and nutrients to the shore, surface currents do not. Deep ocean currents are caused by salinity and temperature differences. Surface currents are cause by the force and impact of the wind.

Deep ocean currents are created by cold water rising sinking or staying the same?
deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night.
What are the three types of ocean currents?
The three types of ocean currents are surface currents, deep currents, and tidal currents. Surface currents are driven by winds, deep currents are driven by density and temperature differences, and tidal currents are driven by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun.
What is the difference between a surface current and a deep current?
Surface currents are ocean currents that occur near the surface of the ocean and are driven by factors like wind, the Earth's rotation, and surface water density. Deep currents, also known as thermohaline currents, are ocean currents that flow deep beneath the surface and are driven by differences in water temperature and salinity. They are much slower and can extend thousands of meters below the surface.
What is the depth of surface currents?
deep in the ocean
What characteristics of deep ocean currents affect their motion?
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
When a submarine expolres the ocean bottom what type of currents affect it?
deep ocean currents.
Where in the ocean do deep currents flow?
In the ocean floor.
