Ocean currents are driven by variations in temperature and salinity, creating a global pattern of interconnected movement within Earth's hydrosphere. Warm, less dense water at the equator rises and moves toward the poles, while cold, dense water sinks and flows toward the equator, forming convection currents. The Coriolis effect, caused by Earth's rotation, deflects these currents, creating circular patterns known as gyres. Scientists use ocean buoys, ships, and satellites to map sea surface temperatures and track these currents, which play a crucial role in regulating climate, transferring heat, and supporting marine biodiversity.
