In combination, the equatorial bulge and the effects of the surface centrifugalforce due to rotation mean that sea-levelgravity increases from about 9.780 m/s2at the Equator to about 9.832 m/s2 at the poles, so an object will weigh approximately 0.5% more at the poles than at the Equator.

Ocean currents are propelled by various forces. Such forces can include the wind, tidal patterns due to the gravitational pull from the sun and moon, the Coriolis force and water temperature. An ocean current can move for many miles. The path a current follows is usually consistent.
