Describe the similarities and differences between gyres and currents?
A difference between gyres and currents is that currents are formed by the wind, but gyres are formed by currents.
What is difference similiarity currents and gyres?
similarity is currents form gyres. difference is currents are any movement of water in one specific direction and gyres are circular patterns of water
What are the major differences between eastern boundary currents in the gyres and the western boundary currents in gyres?
Eastern boundary currents are relatively shallow, broad, and slow-flowing. Western boundary currents are warm, deep, narrow, and fast-flowing currents that form on the west side of ocean basins due to western intensification.

What are gyres?
Currents make circular patterns called gyres. The gyres in the nothern hempisphere run clockwise, and the gyres in the Southern hepmisphere run counter clock wise.
What causes gyres?
Gyres are circular movements of ocean currents caused by the Coriolis Effect.
Why are the gyres in the northern hemisphere separate from the gyres in the southern hemisphere?
The currents flow in opposite directions due to the Coriolis effect.
Why do gyres flow in giant circular patterns?
its because currents form gyres and the wind is so much that it found a circular patterns
What are large roughly circular ocean c urrents called?
Large, roughly circular ocean currents are called gyres.
What is a circular ocean current?
Circular ocean currents are called gyres.
What type of pattern does ocean currents make?
Circular wind patterns create spiral ocean currents called gyres. There are five major gyres flowing both north and south of the equator: the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres.
