The movement of ocean water is primarily driven by several factors, including wind, the Earth's rotation, and differences in water density. This movement can be categorized into three main types: surface currents, which are driven by wind; thermohaline circulation, which is influenced by temperature and salinity differences; and tidal currents, which are caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and sun. Together, these currents create a complex system that regulates climate and supports marine ecosystems.
