Sagot :

The factor that most affects the flow of ocean currents is B. differences in temperaturethreAnswer here

Answer:

Correct Answer is B (Differences in temperature)

Explanation:

One of the main cause of ocean current to occur is variation of temperature of different layer of oceanic water.Water which have high temprature is less dense and this Less density water float above the surface of high density water. When this less density water reached on the surface of ocean that time wind which blows on the surface water makes the water cool or in other words we can say that water released  its heat to the surrounding environment. when water becomes cool it again shifted in downward direction and less density water  will moves upward. In this way this process will continue and hence ocean current is created.
