Oceans Currents

The ocean is always moving. It moves because of a current. The current is under and on the surface of the water. currents move in specific direction, the tides are a good example the come in and go out.

There are different names of currents, Humboldt, which is in the pacific, Gulf steqm and Labrador, are in the Atlantic Ocean. these are the major currents of the world.

Surface currents are those that are found in the upper 400M of the ocean. these currents make up 10% of the oceans water. Went wind is moving in the opposite way of the current it will make the water start spinning in the swirl.

Deep water currnets are found beneath 400M the water beneath that creats the other 90% of the oceans water. The deep water currnets are caused by the gravity and dencity of the water.

  1. Hey Mish, so, your blog didnt really make any sense. You could have orginized it better because the information was good its just that it sounds like you dont understand it very well. For example "There are different names of currents, Humboldt, which is in the pacific, Gulf steqm and Labrador, are in the Atlantic Ocean." This paragraph is wrong.. :)other then that.. good job!
