As water is on top of the ocean, wind pushes it along, creating a current. As it warms, it interacts with lower colder waters, pulling them along with it. As water cools, it rises and this interaction creates ocean currents.

Surface waters of the Earth are typically referred to as "water bodies" or "water sources," which include oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, and streams. These surface waters play a crucial role in supporting various ecosystems and human activities.
Ponds and lakes typically undergo turnover in the fall and spring. In the fall, cooling surface waters sink and mix with deeper, oxygen-rich waters. In the spring, warming surface waters mix with cooler, nutrient-rich waters.

Upwelling is the ocean process that brings vital nutrients from the bottom to the surface waters. It occurs when cold, nutrient-rich waters from the deep ocean rise to the surface, fueling the growth of phytoplankton and supporting a vibrant marine ecosystem.

no.
Yes, in regions of heavy precipitation, the increased input of fresh water from rainfall can dilute the salinity of surface waters. This can occur in coastal areas and near river mouths where freshwater runoff mixes with the ocean water, reducing the overall salinity of the surface waters in those areas.
