Answer:
An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves and temperature and salinity differences. Depth contours, shoreline configurations, and interactions with other currents influence a current's direction and strength. Ocean currents are primarily horizontal water movements.

The term "current" describes the motion of the ocean.
Ocean currents are driven by wind, water density differences, and tides. Oceanic currents describe the movement of water from one location to another.
