Deep ocean currents are created by differences in water density. Cold or salty water is more dense and sinks, whereas warm or less salty water is less dense and rises. In polar regions, much of the ocean water is tied up in ice sheets. The salt remains in the liquid water, so the water in these areas is very salty as well as very cold. This water is consequently very dense and sinks. It is replaced by water from lower latitudes. The deep, dense water then moves slowly across the ocean floor and eventually rises in warmer latitudes. These currents are connected, and are sometimes called the ocean "conveyor belt." One circuit can take 1000 years to complete

A river of water in the ocean might be a way to describe an ocean current, such as the Gulf Stream.
an ocean current.
Deep current is a movement of the ocean water. The ocean waters current is continuous.
The biggest ocean current is the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, also known as ACC. The largest ocean current is approximately 125 Sverdrups.
An ocean current, is the way a body of water flows!
discuss warm ocean currents
Deserts do not have ocean currents although they may be located near an ocean current.
no the ocean current is like a wind.

Ocean currents describe itself, a warm ocean current is warm water that has a path anything that gets in way of the path will be taken by the current same for cold water also a new tranport for the water to travel to ocean to ocean
