The Ocean currents of the World

The vertical and horizontal movement on the surface and deep water are called Ocean Currents. They would normally move in a specific direction. Ocean currents are found all over the world and in different sizes too. They also vary in importance and strength. The California and Humbolt currents are the most noticable currents in the Pacific.
Surface currents are found 4000 metres in the uper area of the Ocean. They also make up 10% of water in the Ocean. They are caused by a "wing" because it may create friction as it moves swiftly over the water. The friction causes the water to move in a spiral pattern. The speed of the surface currents is closer to the oceans surface and goes down about 100 metres below the surface.
