Hi, here's a few facts about ocean currents feel free to ask questions
ocean currents are vertical and horizontal movement through out the world's oceans
Do ocean currents move in a specific direction?
yes they normally move in a specific direction and aid curculation of the earths miosture, resultant weather and water pollution. They move in spiral patterns making gyres, in the northen hemisphere gyres move clockwise but in the southern they spin counterclockwise.
Did you know that the main cause is wind because there is friction when it moves over water gravity also causes ocean currents. since the currents travel long distances the canalis f9rc also plays a role in ocean currents movement.

how does the wind move and make friction on the water gravity
