Ocean currents are continuous, predictable movements of seawater, driven by factors like wind, temperature, salinity variations, and Earth's rotation (Coriolis effect).
They transport vast amounts of heat from the equator towards the poles, moderating temperatures and influencing regional weather patterns and global climate systems.
Also known as thermohaline circulation, it's a global system of deep-ocean currents driven by temperature and salinity differences, distributing heat and nutrients worldwide.
Currents distribute nutrients, oxygen, and marine organisms, influencing migratory patterns, spawning grounds, and the overall productivity of ocean ecosystems.
