Answer: Winds are primary energy source for currents that flow horizontally in the ocean surface layers (less than 100 to 200 m deep). Hence surface currents often called “wind driven currents” or “wind drift currents”.

Currents that flow deep in the oceans below the level affected by winds are generated by convection caused by variations in water density. Higher-density waters sink and displace (push aside or up) less –dense water. Because density is determined by temperature and salinity, deep-water circulation is called “thermohaline circulation”.

The winds are the primary source for both ‘wind driven circulation’ and ‘thermohaline circulation’ is the sun. Winds are generated by the density variations in the earth’s atmosphere caused by solar heating and radiative and evaporative cooling.

Thermohaline circulation is driven by density difference between ocean water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations.

Explanation:

This is the main cause to form a wave over the sea surface.

The MAIN purpose of photosynthesis is to
Licemer1 [7]
Convert carbon dioxide gas to oxygen gas.

produce the food the plant needs to grow.
However, some folks have missed the purpose of photosynthesis. It's not oxygen production. The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store that chemical energy for future use. For the most part, the planet's living systems are powered by this process
