Frage 3
Frage
[blank_start]Surface[blank_end] currents move faster than [blank_start]deep[blank_end] currents (tens to hundreds of centimeters per second). Surface currents generally run about [blank_start]100[blank_end] meters deep, and comprise about [blank_start]10[blank_end] percent of the oceans’ waters. The direction of [blank_start]surface[blank_end] currents is largely under the control of [blank_start]global winds[blank_end], mostly [blank_start]westerlies[blank_end] and [blank_start]trade winds[blank_end].
