Sea Currents

Sea currents are large, continuous flows of seawater that move through the oceans, like giant rivers within the sea. They are driven by factors such as wind, Earth's rotation, differences in water temperature and salinity, and the shape of the ocean floor. These currents help regulate global climate by transporting heat from the equator toward the poles and distributing nutrients that support marine life. They can be surface currents, influenced mainly by wind, or deep currents, driven by differences in water density. Overall, sea currents play a vital role in shaping climate, weather patterns, and marine ecosystems worldwide.
