How many major Ocean Gyres are there on Earth?
There are five major ocean gyres on Earth, which include the North Atlantic Gyre, South Atlantic Gyre, North Pacific Gyre, South Pacific Gyre, and the Indian Ocean Gyre. These gyres are large systems of circulating ocean currents driven by wind patterns and the Earth's rotation. They play a crucial role in regulating climate, marine ecosystems, and oceanic circulation.

How are the north equatorial and south equatorial currents in the pacific ocean alike and different?
The North Equatorial Current and South Equatorial Current in the Pacific Ocean are both warm, fast-moving currents that flow towards the west. They are driven by the trade winds. One key difference is that the North Equatorial Current is influenced by the North Pacific Gyre, while the South Equatorial Current is influenced by the South Pacific Gyre.

Approximately where is it Great Pacific Garbage Patch?
It is located in an area call the North Pacific Gyre, which is a patch of the North Pacific Ocean that covers thousands of square miles roughly between the United States and Japan and reaching toward Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. It's called the Great Pacific Garbage Patch because the prevailing ocean currents tend to swirl around this patch of ocean, causing all manner of floating debris to be concentrated in the gyre.

In which direction does the north pacific subtropical gyre rotate?
They are circular currents usually in the oceans but also in air, caused by the Coriolis effect.Alternatively they may follow the gimbles in the wabe, perhaps caused by the slithy toves themselves.
