what causes the surface ocean currents?
surface currents are driven by global wind systems that are fueled by energy from the sun.
the patterns of surface currents are determined by wind direction, coriolis forces from the earths rotation, and the position of landforms that interact with the currents.
surface currents are mostly driven by differences in salinity.
surface currents are mostly driven by differences in temperature.
two of these statements are correct.

Explanation:

Surface ocean currents are influenced by multiple factors. Wind is a major driver (global wind systems fueled by solar energy). Also, the patterns are affected by wind direction, Coriolis forces (due to Earth's rotation), and landform - current interactions. Differences in salinity mainly drive deep - ocean thermohaline circulation, not surface currents. Differences in temperature alone do not fully explain surface currents.

Answer:

two of these statements are correct.
