Ocean currents fall into two main categories: surface currents and deep ocean currents.

Though they have different causes, surface and deep ocean currents influence each other in an intricate dance that keeps the entire ocean moving.

Near the shore, surface currents are driven by both the wind and tides, which draw water back and forth as the water level falls and rises.

Meanwhile, in the open ocean, wind is the major force behind surface currents.

In fact, water as deep as 400 meters is still affected by the wind at the ocean’s surface.

If you zoom out to look at the patterns of surface currents all over the earth, you’ll see that they form big loops called gyres, which travel clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere.

Unlike surface currents, deep ocean currents are driven primarily by changes in the density of seawater.

This cold, salty water is more dense, so it sinks, and warmer surface water takes its place, setting up a vertical current called thermohaline circulation.

Thermohaline circulation of deep water and wind-driven surface currents combine to form a winding loop called the Global Conveyor Belt.
