Currents and its causes:

  • The definition of ocean current is defined in such a way like a continuous movement of sea water.
  • This movement is sea waves are generated by a number of forces which act upon the environment.
  • These factors which influences these oceanic movements are wind, the Coriolis Effect, temperature, humidity and the rainfall.
  • There are five different oceanic currents are the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, and Indian Ocean gyres in the region of ocean.
