Prevailing winds form ocean currents by pushing surface water in a particular direction; warm ocean currents begin at the equator because solar radiation is more concentrated near the equator, heating the water and causing it to move towards the poles; Ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere generally move clockwise, while currents in the Southern Hemisphere move counterclockwise due to the Coriolis effect.
