What is the major factor for why you have ocean currents?

The sun. The sun heats the water at equator and this warm water wants to move to where the cold water is located at the poles. As the warm water moves toward the pole, the cold water moves from the pole to the equator to back fill the moving water. This sets up a loop of water that moves in a large loop on the globe.

How is heat moved around the earth's oceans?

Through an elaborate system of ocean currents. Water is cooled at the poles and sinks, because it is a little more dense than warmer water. The cool water moves around the ocean floor and spreads toward the equator, generally, and warmer water moves up at the equator and spreads out along the surface.
