Its all connected

Wind patterns greatly influence the currents in Oceans. The reason is because the wind pushes up against the water and constantly pushes the waves in that direction. Water is constantly in motion and in flux because of the weird directions of the winds. Water from Antarctica is always colder than water from the Equator, which makes sense because the Equator is a lot warmer than Antarctica.  It is stronger there than any other part of the globe. In 1992 many rubber ducks were abandoned in the ocean and scientists tracked where they ended up which totally helped scientists research water and wind patterns on the globe. The air towards the equator brings a lot of moisture and heat. Anything a hurricane touches would greatly effect where it ends up as it would send it soaring any which way. The warm water attracts sharks/whales and other tropical sea critters. Its a good thing there is international law because with only local law things would constantly be ignored. Constantly damaging the ocean is a terrible way to live as the ocean brings us many nutrition such as seafood and other natural habitats in which our animals live in. Without the ocean the world would not survive, yet it is not treated as such a commodity.
