How do gyres form?

Gyres form due to the combination of wind patterns, Earth's rotation, and the shape of ocean basins. The wind pushes surface water, creating circular water movements. Coriolis effect, caused by the Earth's rotation, deflects the moving water, causing it to form a circular pattern. This creates gyres in major ocean basins.
