Answer (2)

Surface currents are significantly affected by winds, Earth's rotation, and continent locations, but salinity does not impact their movement. Salinity primarily influences the density of water and deeper currents. Understanding these factors can help clarify oceanic movement dynamics. ;

The factor that does NOT affect the movement of surface currents is salinity. Surface currents are primarily influenced by wind, Earth's rotation, and the location of continents. Salinity mainly influences the density of water and deeper currents, not those at the surface.
