Detailed explanation-1: -Prevailing winds (air currents) that blow over parts of the ocean push the water along, creating surface currents. Winds can also contribute to upwelling, or currents that move cold, nutrient-rich water from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are two main types of ocean currents: surface currents and deep ocean currents.
Detailed explanation-3: -The global conveyor belt This is called the Antarctic Bottom Water (AABW), and it flows across the ocean floor halfway around the globe into the North Atlantic.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are five major ocean-wide gyres-the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific, and Indian Ocean gyres. Each is flanked by a strong and narrow “western boundary current, ” and a weak and broad “eastern boundary current” (Ross, 1995).
Detailed explanation-5: -There are two distinct current systems in the ocean-surface circulation, which stirs a relatively thin upper layer of the sea, and deep circulation, which sweeps along the deep-sea floor.
