Earth's Rotation. Wind is not the only factor that affects ocean currents. The Coriolis effect describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface ocean currents (Figure below). ...

You all know that the ocean water is never still. There are different types of movements of ocean water under the influence of different physical characteristics like temperature, salinity, density, etc. Movements of ocean water are also affected by external forces like the sun, moon and the winds.
