Gyre:
Imagine you're trying to clean a messy room by creating paths through the clutter to move around efficiently. Just like how your movement patterns are dictated by the furniture layout and the paths you create, ocean gyres are formed by the interaction of wind patterns and the continents that guide the water. In both cases, the flow is shaped and directed by surrounding obstacles: your room's furniture organizes your movement, while continents and wind patterns organize the ocean currents into a circulating system.
Practice Version
Gyre: A system of circulating ocean currents formed by wind and shape of continents. Gyre. A gyre is a large system of ocean currents that spiral around a central point influenced by Earth's rotation.
