Currents and Transport Processes

Currents and transport processes refer to the movement of water, nutrients, and particles within oceans, rivers, or the atmosphere. They are driven by factors like wind, temperature differences, and Earth's rotation. These flows help distribute heat, oxygen, and nutrients, affecting climate, marine life, and weather patterns. In oceans, currents like the Gulf Stream carry warm water across vast distances, shaping global climate. Transport processes ensure the circulation of essential elements, supporting ecosystems and influencing environmental conditions. Overall, they are vital mechanisms that regulate the flow and distribution of substances in natural systems.
