Question

Why do warm ocean currents flow along the surface of the ocean?

Answer

Warm ocean currents flow along the surface of the ocean because of their lower density compared to the surrounding water. This lower density is due to their higher temperature, which reduces their solubility and increases their volume. As a result, warm ocean currents remain near the surface as they are less dense than the cold water underneath.
