An ocean current?
The water that forms far below the surface is called a Deep Current.
Surface waters make up about 10% of all the water in the ocean.
Stream like movements of water that occur near the surface of the ocean are called surface currents. Stream like movements of ocean water far below the surface are known as a deep current.
Gulf Stream
A surface current is a wind-powered current that moves water along horizontally. Because the wind is on the surface, a surface current only forms along the first few hundred feet of ocean water.
