  1. Shallow currents vs. Deep currents

  2. Gyre (guy-err) • Gyres move on the surface of the ocean and move in the direction of prevailing winds.

  3. Shallow water currents • Shallow water currents are formed mostly along the paths of these gyres. • Shallow water currents move in the direction of winds on the surface of the ocean.

  4. Deep Water Currents • Deep currents are deep under the sea and behave like convection currents. • Hot water travels toward the surface • Cold sinks to the bottom
