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. Global wind systems (fueled by solar energy) play a major role in driving surface currents. Also, the patterns of these currents are affected by wind direction, Coriolis forces (due to Earth's rotation), and the position of landforms interacting with the currents. Differences in salinity mainly drive deep - ocean currents (thermohaline circulation), and while temperature can influence water density (to some extent related to currents), it is not the main driver of surface currents compared to wind.

Answer:

two of these statements are correct.
