Ocean Currents

The term "current" describes the motion of the ocean. 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.

The ocean currents may be warm or cold. The warm ocean currents originate near

the equator and move towards the poles. The cold currents carry water from polar or

higher latitudes to tropical or lower latitudes.

Warm currents bring about warm temperatures over the land surface. The areas where

the warm and cold currents meet to provide the best fishing grounds in the world. Seas

around Japan and the eastern coast of North America are such examples. The areas

where a warm and cold current meets experience foggy weather making it difficult for navigation.
