Question

difference between ocean currents and oceanic drift​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Ocean currents are divided on the basis of temperature into currents,drifts and streams. The forward movement of surface water of theoceans under the influence of prevailing winds is called drift whereas the ocean current involves the movement of oceanic water in a definite direction with greater velocity.

Answer 2

Hey mate! I have the answer.

The general movement of a mass of oceanic water in a definite direction is called Ocean current which is more or less similar to water streams flowing on the land surface of the earth.

The forward movement of surface water of the oceans under the influence of prevailing winds is called drift whereas the ocean current involves the movement of oceanic water in a definite direction with greater velocity. Stream involves movement of larger mass of ocean water like big rivers of the continent in a definite direction with greater velocity than the drifts and currents.
