Prevailing Winds

Imagine trying to move a heavy grocery cart that only seems to roll smoothly in one direction because the wheels are slightly misaligned. Similarly, prevailing winds consistently blow from a specific direction, pushing and guiding ocean currents along their path. Just as the misaligned wheels of the cart determine the direction you effortlessly move it, the prevailing winds steer ocean currents, influencing the movement and flow of the water based on their consistent directional push.
