2Coriolis force of Rotation of Earth:→ It helps in rotation of sea water to the right in Northern Hemisphere and [left] in Southern hemisphere.
∟ Sargasso sea is due to the gyre formation due to the ocean currents movement.
3Salinity: causes heavy and dense water to go down.
4Temperate:→ helps in the movement
