Current = the horizontal movement of a body of water. Causes: Gravitational effects of sun and moon Heating and cooling of Earth’s atmosphere Winds blowing across the ocean’s surface Changes in salinity due to rain and evaporation The Coriolis effect Set - the direction of the currents motion Drift - the velocity of the current Set & Drift represent the vector added to ship’s motion by the current TIDE CURRENT
