How Do Oceans Circulate Crash Course Geography, 9

Today, we re going to take a closer look at how the oceans circulate by following the life of a discarded water bottle as it gets snagged in the North Pacific Garbage Patch. We ll talk about what causes the movement of water, called current, both near the surface and much deeper in the oceans, and we ll show how they follow similar (but not identical) paths to the winds. Ocean circulation plays a huge role in cycling vital nutrients within the seas and helps us transport goods on ships across the globe and it s up to us to protect it.
