because of the Earths rotation the ocean currents are not in straight lines. In the northern hemisphere they curve to the right

Ocean currents cannot simply stop. They are driven mainly by weather systems, heat and the earths rotation
Gyres
Deep-ocean currents are affected by wind, temperature and earths rotation.
The Coriolis effect
The earths rotation causes day and night, wind, tides and ocean currents and its also responsible for the different seasons.
Coriolis effect and your mom
The Coriolis effect
The two causes of ocean currents are wind and the rotation of the earth(etc) The wind blows which makes the currents in the water and the rotation of the earth(gravity) makes currents in the ocean currents. Luaye Sharawy
its the natural flow of of water causes by the earths magnetic field from it rotation which thus interacts with the moons gravitational pull called"TIDES"
The main driving force is wind, but it is also affected by the earths rotation, solar energies, and gravity.
