Honda · 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. does this help any?

this also may help. "Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis effect which also influences ocean currents. ... This phenomenon causes ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere to veer to the right and in the Southern Hemisphere to the left." - https://www.noaa.gov/education/resource-collections/ocean-coasts/ocean-currents#:~:text=Coastal%20and%20sea%20floor%20features,which%20also%20influences%20ocean%20currents.&text=This%20phenomenon%20causes%20ocean%20currents,Southern%20Hemisphere%20to%20the%20left.
