The main, and most regular, cause of movement in our oceans is due to the gravitational pull of the Moon.
As the Moon orbits the Earth its gravitational field "pulls" the sea upwards and this causes high tides, with low tides following.
Waves are also caused by the action of winds on the surface and, at greater depth, water movement can be due to tectonic movements, or earthquakes, under the sea.
Another cause of ocean currents can be due to the change in density of the water, for example, where freshwater from rivers flows directly into the salty sea..

How do brittle sea stars move?
sea stars move through the water by emitting a fluid from the hole on their underside; it propels them through the water
Why are the loggerhead turttles endnagered?
The loggerhead sea turtle slowly moves by their fins. When they move, they slowly press their fins against the water. This makes a power source which causes them to move along. Please save the loggerhead sea turtles from extinction!

What is it that makes the Dead Sea so salty?
The Dead Sea is very salty because it has no outlet for water to flow out. Water evaporates from the sea, leaving behind salt and minerals, which makes the water more concentrated and salty.
How do sea sponges move from place to place?
They use the waves in the water to move around.
