Ocean currents-

An ocean current is any more or less permanent or continuous, directed movement of ocean water that flows in one of the Earth's oceans. The currents are generated from the forces acting upon the water like the earth's rotation, the wind, the temperature and salinity differences and the gravitation of the moon.

Two types of ocean currents-

1. Currents driven mainly by wind.
2. Currents mainly driven by density differences.
