Answer 1

★Required answer :

➥ The movement of ocean water in the form of a stream, in a definite direction, on the ocean surface is called an ocean current.

★More information :

◕ Ocean currents are like rivers that flow slowly in the oceans.

◕ Currents are responsible for a vast amount of movement of water found in the oceans.

◕ They also transfer heat absorbed from the sun from one place to another, affecting the climate of the region they flow in.

Ocean currents occur due to -

• Variations in the density of ocean waters due to differences in temperature and salinity.

• Direction of the prevailing winds.

• Shape and position of coastlines.

• Rotation of the earth.

◕ The circulation of ocean currents is clockwise in the northern hemisphere and anti - clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

◕ Some of the ocean currents are narrow and swift. They move at a speed of 3 to 10km/hr.
