What is continental deflection?

Continental deflection occurs when ocean currents are redirected around continents due to their size and shape. These currents can cause alterations in ocean temperature, marine life migration patterns, and weather patterns, influencing global climate systems.

What is the main cause of surface currents in earth's ocean?

Surface currents in the Earth's oceans are mainly caused by the combination of the wind and the rotation of the Earth (Coriolis effect). The wind pushes the surface water, creating movement, and the Coriolis effect deflects this movement to create currents.


Strongest ocean current?

South of New Zealand, the Southern Ocean's westerly winds drive the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which flows continuously around the globe. This is the world's strongest ocean current, reaching down 4 kilometres to the ocean floor and transporting about 100 times the volume of water of all the world's rivers. The current does not directly affect New Zealand's main islands. However, the Campbell Plateau to the south deflects the current south and channels it north past the Antipodes Islands before the flow resumes its eastward course. Further south, cold, downward-moving winds, known as katabatic winds, flow off Antarctica. These winds drive a westward current and form a clockwise gyre in the Ross Sea.
