Factors that influence the ocean currents

1Prevailing Winds:→ the ocean water move under the influence of the winds that drags it to the other place.

2Coriolis force of Rotation of Earth:→ It helps in rotation of sea water to the right in Northern Hemisphere and [left] in Southern hemisphere.

∟ Sargasso sea is due to the gyre formation due to the ocean currents movement.

3Salinity: causes heavy and dense water to go down.

4Temperate:→ helps in the movement
