I pulled this off the internet. Maybe this can help.


At divergent<span> plate boundaries, two </span>lithospheric<span> plates move apart, and new plate (and crust) are created at the boundary. The new crust is created volcanically. This process always produces ocean crust and thus </span>oceanic<span> plate. Thus </span>divergent <span>boundaries ultimately become mid-ocean ridges.</span>

Describe the causes of surface and deep ocean currents
ad-work [718]

Answer: The causes of ocean currents include wind, water temperature/salinity and natural disasters.

Explanation:

A current or circulation is the unified movement of water across the ocean. A Surface current affects the topmost layer of seawater and is defined by the direction of the wind  while Deep Currents reach the sea floor though a combination of surface currents and landforms.  

Water temperature and salinity cause currents by changing water density which in turn results in deep ocean currents circulating the seawater.

Other conditions that cause strong currents are storms and earthquakes which introduces particles  into the seawater.
