Consider the following factors: 1) Rotation of the Earth 2) Air pressure and wind 3) Density of ocean water 4) Revolution of the Earth Which of the above factors influence the ocean currents?

Question

CollectorBabu · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: 1, 2 and 3. Ocean currents are caused due to wind, density differences in water masses, gravity, and events such as earthquakes. They are equivalent to winds in atmosphere where transfer of heat from Earth’s rotation appears, so statements 1, 2 and 3 are correct, hence option B. is correct.
