Answer:

Ocean currents are formed by a heat current called convection.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ocean currents are caused by two different things, the wind and convection. Convection is a process that changes the temperature of the water and causes movement. Convection occurs because the water in the ocean heats up and becomes less dense.
