Planimetric map
rapid tempature change is the main characteristic that effects deep ocean currents.
Wind can impact ocean currents by transferring energy to the surface of the water, causing it to move in the direction of the wind. This creates surface currents that can influence the direction and speed of deeper ocean currents. Strong winds over a large area can lead to the formation of powerful currents, such as the Gulf Stream.

Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
The factors that can modify the currents are direction and shape of coastlines, bottom reliefs of the ocean basins, seasonal variations and rotation of the earth. Ocean circulation is driven by winds and by differences in water density
The ocean does not influence wind speed and direction. The currents in the ocean are caused by wind speed and direction. The tides in the ocean are influenced by the phases of the moon.

In the Northern Hemisphere, ocean surface currents generally flow clockwise due to the Coriolis effect. This means currents tend to move to the right in the northern hemisphere. However, local factors such as winds, coastal topography, and temperature gradients can also influence the direction of ocean currents.
