Answer: Cold Ocean Currents: It is the layer of the ocean water which moves due to the stress of blowing the wind and this motion is thus called as Ekman Transport. Deep Water Currents: They constitute about 90% of the ocean water. They move around the ocean basin due to variations in the density and gravity.
