An ocean current is a continuous flow of water in the ocean. Surface ocean currents occur on the surface of the water. Deep ocean currents occur hundreds of feet below the ocean surface.

Ocean currents can be warm or cold. In general, warm currents originate at or near the equator. Cold currents originate at or near the poles. Warm currents flow away from the equator and cool currents flow towards the equator. Warm and cold currents can flow into each other forming ocean systems called a gyre.
