The ocean does move in circles. If you look at any map showing ocean currents, you'll see that the majority of them make big, somewhat distorted circles.
The continents are in the way, so the ocean currents have a rather complicated circulation pattern (see "Thermohaline Circulation").
What else can I help you with?
What is an example of convection in earth systems?
examples are air rotating when heat and cold air move aroundthe sun to the ocean
Do stars at north pole move?
No, The stars themselves are not moving, but the Earth is rotating. This gives the appearance that the stars are revolving in circles around the pole in a counterclockwise direction
Do stars move in circles during the night?
stars don't move, the earth does.
Why does the sun appear to move with you as you are traveling in a car?
Because the earth is rotating
If the earth were not rotating wind would prefer to move towards areas of pressure?
the Earth is not moving http://www.fixedearth.com/
Why do stars seem to move in he sky?
Stars seem to move in the sky due to the Earth's rotation. It creates the illusion that the stars are moving across the sky when, in reality, it's the Earth that is rotating on its axis. This phenomenon is known as diurnal motion.
Why do you land in the same spot if the earth is rotating?
Inertia. We move along with the Earth. A force would be required to pull us back.
Why does the Earth's crust move on top of the magma when getting heated by the earth's core?
Convection currents move the magma around in circles up and down as it gets cooled and heated. And the plates move on top of them.
Does the sun appears to move because of the turning of the milky way galaxy?
No, it is because of the Earth rotating on its axis.
What is responsible for stars seeming to move across the sky?
Because Earth is always rotating so it seems like its the stars that are rotating but its really just our planet that moves.
What is the largest thing that moves around in circles?
Technically, there are entire galaxies that "orbit" around one another. There are super galaxies called "Giant Ellipticals" around which smaller galaxies move about. The problem is that it becomes a question of relativity, as in, what is the center of the universe (or is there even one?) or what is revolving what. There are some theories that speculate that the entire universe is rotating or "moving around itself".
How are gyres formed?
Gyresare huge areas found in the middle of the ocean. These are formed when ocean water stays in one place and does not circulate. The force of the Earth's wind patterns create ocean surface currents.
