Click the image above to visit the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to learn about how surface & deep water currents, about how the depth and temperatures affect them, as well as an interesting look at marine life who are dependent on it.
Then, once you've read the article, check out the links on the right-side of the page, especially the "ocean currents tutorial", "what causes ocean currents", "coastal observations interactive map", and pretty much everything under "Lesson Plans & Activities".
This is a fantastic resource to help determine your world's trade routes, weather, temperatures, coastal biomes, marine life, and much more.
