Firstly, the planet is constantly rotating on its axis in an eastward (counter-clockwise) direction. This explains why the sun's light moves from east to west. ... Since planes in the sky are being pulled eastward with the earth, it takes more time to go west.

In the western gyre currents, that volume is passing through a narrower area, so the current must travel faster in order to transport the same amount of water in the same amount of time. On the eastern side of the gyre the current is much wider, so the flow is slower.
