Aquatic Currents

Aquatic currents are large-scale flows of water within oceans, seas, and lakes, driven by factors like wind, Earth's rotation, temperature, and salinity differences. They help distribute heat, nutrients, and oxygen, impacting climate and marine life. Surface currents, like the Gulf Stream, move warm water across regions, while deep currents, driven by density differences, circulate cooler, nutrient-rich water below. These currents are crucial for maintaining the Earth's climate balance and supporting aquatic ecosystems.
