The currents set up circular loops or gyres. Gyres are spiral oceanic surface currents and are found in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres.
The pattern of current flow is clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and anti-clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
In the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, the currents make a similar pattern.
Ocean currents flowing away from the equator are called warm currents. The water in these currents is not necessarily warm, but it's warm compared to what you would expect for that latitude. The Gulf Stream is a good example of a warm current.
