Groundwater flow is very slow compared to currents in surface water, generally moving at less then one and one-half meters per day.
Compare and contrast surface currents and deep currents. They are both are moving water that flows through oceans. Surface currents are towards the top of the ocean, can be warm or cold, and are controlled by winds. Deep currents are low, deep in the ocean, cold, and are controlled by density.
Fast moving rivers int he ocean are called currents. Currents are caused by the Earth's rotation. An ocean current is continuous.

Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring warm waters.
It is cold..

Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
