It is defined as a movement in the oceans that has a direction and is continuous. These abiotic features of the environment are created by the average or mean flow of the seawater, winds, Coriolis Effect, salinity and temperature difference, cabbeling and breaking waves. Coriolis Effect is the result of the rotating Earth. The rotating Earth changes the straight line path of the current and winds as they travel.
