What is the cause of most surface currents?
Surface currents are primarily caused by the wind, which transfers its energy to the ocean's surface through friction. The rotation of the Earth also influences the direction of these currents through the Coriolis effect.
What process transfers energy from the warm surface of the earth to air particles in the atmosphere?
The process that transfers energy from the warm surface of the Earth to air particles in the atmosphere is called convection. As the Earth's surface heats up, the air in contact with it also warms up and becomes less dense, causing it to rise. This rising warm air transfers energy to the surrounding cooler air particles through convection currents.

What are surface currents powered by?
Surface currents are primarily powered by wind. As the wind blows over the surface of the ocean, it creates friction and transfers its energy to the water, generating currents. Other factors such as the earth's rotation and differences in water temperature and salinity can also influence surface currents.
How the sun is the major source of energy that powers surface currents?
The sun is major source of energy that power surface currents because the sun causes wind to blow and winds cause surface currents to form
When earth cools most of the energy transfers from earths surface to space is transfers by the process of?
Radiation
What create ocean currents?
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
