- influenced by the rotation of Earth - DEEP OCEAN CURRENTS

-found closer to the ocean floor – DEEP OCEAN CURRENTS

-caused by differences in water

Density – DEEP & SURFACE OCEAN CURRENTS

- found near the top of the ocean – SURFACE OCEAN CURRENTS

-caused by prevailing winds – SURFACE OCEAN CURRENTS

Explanation:

The surface ocean water is usually less dense than the deep ocean water. This is mostly due to differences in temperatures. The upper waters are usually warmer than the deep waters.

The direction of surface waters are highly influenced by prevailing winds than deep waters. This is because surface waters are at the interphase with the atmosphere and are therefore dragged along into the direction of the prevailing winds. The deeper into the ocean you get the less the influence of the winds and the more the influence of the Coriolis effect. This difference causes Ekman transport in the oceans.
