How do preventing wins produce ocean currents

1 answer

Ocean currents are produced by a combination of factors, including the Earth's rotation, the Coriolis effect, differences in water density, and differences in water temperature. Preventing winds, or winds that blow in the same direction for long periods of time, can contribute to the formation of ocean currents by pushing the surface water in a particular direction. This can cause the water to move in a circular pattern, creating a current.
