Why does the ocean move? What causes the waves? 

Blowing吹動 winds move the water on the surface of the ocean.

There are consistent始終如一 winds that travel across the world's oceans, creating surface currents. 

Cold winds that blow from the North and South Poles極(點) carry cold water toward the warm, central parts of the Earth. 

At the same time, surface currents from these warm, central parts shift warm water toward the North Pole and the South Pole

As the Earth turns from east to west, that turning also causes currents to move. 

Another thing that makes ocean water move is temperature. 

Cold water is denser密度大 than warm water. 

Cold water sinks while warm water rises up. 

The deeper you go into the ocean, the colder the water is. 

Deep beneath the surface,large streams水流 of cold water move in very long underwater currents. 

As the water moves, some of it begins to warm up.

Then the cooler water underneath在…底下 pushes the warm water to the surface. 

This interaction相互作用 between cold water and warm water is what makes water move below the surface. 

The influence of the moon and the sun helps move the water in the ocean by creating tides潮汐.

At high tide潮汐, water covers more of the beach because it has been pulled higher by the influence of the moon and the sun. 

At low tide, the water is farther更遠 away.

Tides vary in strength daily and seasonally. 

All these elements work together to create the motion of the seas.
