What is the relationship between global winds and global ocean currents? A. The pattern of global winds is one of the factors that drives global ocean currents B. The pattern of global ocean currents is one of the factors that drives global winds. C. Both are caused by heat from the sun, and they do not affect each other. D. Both are caused by Earth's rotation, and they do not affect each other
Large-scale surface ocean currents are driven by global wind systems that are fueled by energy from the sun. These currents transfer heat from the tropics to the polar regions, influencing local and global climate.
