Question
which factor drives surface ocean currents?
wind energy
solar energy
pull of the moon
movement of turbines
Brief Explanations
Wind energy is the main factor driving surface ocean currents. Wind blows across the ocean surface, creating friction and causing the water to move. Solar energy affects climate and weather patterns but is not the direct driver of surface ocean currents. The pull of the moon mainly causes tides. Movement of turbines is a human - made activity and not a natural driver of surface ocean currents.
