Ashanti Downs · Answer 1

It's. To move cold water

Lucian Mckay · Answer 2

Caused by differences in density, move cold water, move in a circular pattern

Explanation:

Difference in density is based on hot surface water vs. cold deep water.

Deep ocean is cold.

Deep ocean currents move in a circular pattern.

Caused by wind is not correct because wind simply does not reach the deep ocean. Wind causes surface currents, but not deep ocean currents.
