Abstract
Ocean currents play a crucial role in shaping Earth's climate, marine ecosystems, and global circulation patterns. These dynamic flows of seawater influence the distribution of heat, nutrients, and dissolved gases, impacting climate regulation, marine life migration, and resource availability. This abstract provides an overview of the fundamental characteristics, driving forces, and significance of ocean currents. It also discusses the interplay between ocean currents, weather patterns, and their implications for regional and global environments. Understanding the dynamics and effects of ocean currents is essential for predicting and managing climate change, optimizing navigation routes, and safeguarding marine ecosystems [1].
Ocean currents play a crucial role in the Earth's climate system, redistributing heat, nutrients, and other properties across the global oceans. These dynamic flows of water are driven by a complex interplay of factors, including wind patterns, temperature gradients, and the Earth's rotation. Understanding the mechanics and impacts of ocean currents is essential for predicting climate patterns, marine ecosystems, and human activities such as navigation and resource exploitation. This paper provides an overview of ocean currents, their driving mechanisms, and their significance in maintaining the Earth's delicate environmental balance [2].
