The movement of streams of ocean water
Real World Example
Imagine trying to navigate through a crowded shopping mall during a big sale, where everyone seems to be moving in different directions but there’s a general flow guiding the crowd. This scenario is similar to the movement of ocean currents, which are like invisible paths in the water guiding marine life and ships. Just as the flow of people in the mall is influenced by the layout of the store and the attractions drawing them in, ocean currents are shaped by factors like wind, the Earth's rotation, and the coastline, creating organized streams that direct water movement across the globe.
