What Causes Ocean Currents?
Ocean currents are giant flowing streams of water that continually move through the ocean in a specific prevailing direction. Some currents flow at the ocean's surface (the upper 400 meters) , while some are found much deeper in the ocean. All ocean currents make a system that circulates around the global ocean. The volume of water transported by the global oceanic Conveyor Belt, (more about it later), is equivalent to the flow of about 100 Amazon Rivers or 16 times the flow of all the world’s rivers combined. This enormous potential of current energy could be utilized. Just think about clean, reliable, and inexhaustible "hydro" energy that is embedded in ocean currents!

Please keep doing this amazing work!
#Urban_forests bring many benefits to communities beyond their impact on biodiversity. Green spaces can help to improve people’s mental health, reduce the harmful effects of air pollution, and even counter the phenomenon of heat islands in cities, where expanses of concrete and asphalt raise #temperatures unnaturally high.
