Distinctive White Lines Trace The Flow Of Surface Currents Around The World.
The flow of ocean water from one place to another is driven and shaped by a variety of factors including wind, water density ( thermohaline circulation ), seafloor bathymetry, and the coriolis effect.
Currents Are Color Coded To Indicate Warm And Cold Currents.
Ocean current, stream made up of horizontal and vertical components of the circulation system of ocean waters that is produced by gravity, wind friction, and water density variation in different parts of the.
