Answer:

Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms.

Explanation:

... Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deepwater currents.

The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. ... In contrast to wind-driven surface currents, deep-ocean currents are caused by differences in water density.

O is a recessive allele so the child will always have blood type B.

When these compounds undergo chemical reactions, resulting in breaking of bonds and releasing energy. When ignition of a car is on, the energy is released when chemical bonds are broken. The released energy is carry out work in the car system.
