- The general movement of a mass of Oceanic water in a definite direction is called Ocean Current. Drift current and stream are the classifications of Ocean Current which are classified on the basis of the direction of flow, speed and shape. There are four factors affecting the origin and flow of Ocean Currents i.e. Rotation and gravitational force of the Earth; Oceanic factors (temperature, salinity, density, pressure gradient and melting of ice); atmospheric factors (atmospheric pressure, winds, rainfall, evaporation and insolation); factors that modifying Ocean Currents (Direction, shape and configuration of coast lines, seasonal variations and Ocean bottom relief). It can be divided into two types- warm currents and cold currents. The currents flows from the equator to the poles are warm and those flowing from the poles to the equator are cold.
