Solution

Ocean water:

  1. Tides have an impact on coastal currents that travel a short distance.
  2. The wind, which drags on the water's surface as it blows, sets huge surface ocean currents in motion in the open ocean.
  3. The water begins to flow in the direction of the wind.
  4. The ocean water is continually in motion due to a variety of variables.
  5. Some of the factors are as follows:
    1. Tides.
    2. Wind.
    3. Temperature.
    4. Currents that are both warm and chilly.
    5. The sun's and moon's gravitational pulls.
