  2. Ocean current • A current takes items in and carries it through the water till it decides to drop it off. Currents are mostly found in the ocean. A current is a body of water that moves different from the water around it. A current is caused by gravity pulling down on the water. As the gravity pulls down on the water it forms a strong and dangerous current.
