list of the currents in the Pacific , Atlantic , Indian Oceans along with Cold and Warm currents.

OCEAN CURRENT :- 

• The water bodies moving in definite direction with slow movement is called the "Current".
• Based on the moving water temperature its divided into two types

• Warm Currents
• Cold Currents.

• WARM CURRENTS :-

                     These currents which moves away form the  equatorial regions to western sides of the ocean basin , associated towards the polar regions.

• COLD CURRENTS :-

                     These currents which moves away form the  Polar regions to equatorial  regions.

North Pacific Drift	West wind Drift	North Equatorial Currents	Falk land	South Equatorial	-

Illustration :-

• Ocean currents are continuous , directed movement of seawater generated by the flow.
•  There are much differences in salinity of water , breaking of waves , wind these are caused by the gravitational force pulled the Sun and Moon.
• Ocean currents flow for great distance , all together and which forms the pressure belt.
• It will play important role in the estimation of weather condition.

OPINION:-

• The Ocean Currents are caused by the natural phenomenon of moving of air in direction.
• These currents are helps in the ancient times for the Trading across the World.
• Now a days we are estimating the future climatic conditions by the movement of the currents.
• Here some of the Oceans and its produced currents are given.
• The pacific Ocean Currents are classified that there are more two types Warm and Cold.

• Examples :- Alaska Currents.

                             Equatorial Currents.

•  Examples :

                             California

                                       West wind Drift.

• The currents are produced and moved towards the other direction.
• warmer currents moves towards polar region.
• while the cold currents moves towards the equatorial region.
