Answer:

Surface currents

Step-by-step explanation:

The water at the ocean surface is moved by the winds which blows in certain pattern due to earth spin and Coriolis effect.wind is able to move top layer of ocean up to 400 m creating surface ocean current.

Ocean current carry warmth of water to higher Latitudes thus making the climate of that region less chilly.
