Ocean tides are the result of the gravitational attraction forcesbetween the sun, moon, and ocean water.
The three major surface currents of the ocean are the Gulf Stream in the North Atlantic, the Kuroshio Current in the North Pacific, and the Antarctic Circumpolar Current in the Southern Ocean. These currents play a significant role in redistributing heat around the globe and influencing regional climates.

Because of the spinning of the Earth, wind and ocean currents closest to the equator will travel straighter. Wind and ocean currents further from the equator will deflect away from the equator.Ê
South Pole. There are few warm ocean currents to warm it as there are around the North Pole.
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
Materials and energy
Ocean currents
currents provide movement in times of little to no wind
The north
They cause movement of the ocean.
The north
They are pulled from the gravity/force of the moon therefore creating waves and currents.
Surface Currents.
Winds and subsea movement of water.
Ocean currents from the South are warm. This makes the cities in the South of Italy have a warm climate. There are hardly any ocean currents affecting the North of Italy because there is no sea.
A sea in the north Atlantic surrounded by ocean currents.
