Ocean Currents Oceans have a slower, much longer-lasting effect on climate than winds. Ocean currents are basically driven by the sun and the rotation.

Influenced by: Weather/Wind Positions of the continents Rotation of the Earth Sun, Salinity, Density

Controlled by temperature and density of water More when cold and higher salinity (amount of salt in the water) Flow deep, under the surface currents

Currents can change direction when they meet the continents

Earth’s rotation causes winds and currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines

High altitude winds that can steer weather systems Do not follow regular paths around the Earth
