2 Influenced by: Weather/Wind Positions of the continents Rotation of the Earth Sun, Salinity, Density

3

4 Controlled by temperature and density of water More when cold and higher salinity (amount of salt in the water) Flow deep, under the surface currents

7 Currents can change direction when they meet the continents

8

9 Earth’s rotation causes winds and currents to move in curved paths instead of straight lines
