Why are warm ocean currents usually surface currents?

• Warm water is more dense so it rises to the surface .

• Warm water is less dense so it rises to the surface

• Ocean tides cause warm water to rise to the surface

• Ocean Water loses heat near the surface.

What happens to ocean water as it increases in density?

• It gets warmer and rises to the surface

• It stays in the same location

• It moves faster

• It sinks to the abyssal plain

What effect can currents have on the land around them?

• Cold current can cause a colder climate and a warm current can cause a warmer climate

• Cold current can cause a warmer climate and warm current can cause a warmer climate

• There is no change

• They cause erosion
