Answer:

The sun warms up parts of the oceans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Warm waters rise just like warm air rises. So, as the warmer ocean waters begin to rise in a particular area, the cooler ocean waters from a different area will move in to replace the warmer ocean waters, and this creates our ocean currents.
