warm surface currents come from the polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, mainly atmospheric forces drive them. Gyres form when the major ocean currents connect. Water flows in a circular pattern-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.

Difference between northern and southern hemisphere?
The main difference between the two hemispheres is the direction of rotation of the Earth. In the northern hemisphere, the Earth rotates counterclockwise, while in the southern hemisphere, it rotates clockwise. This affects weather patterns, ocean currents, and the position of celestial objects in the sky.
Why is the northern hemisphere cold?
It's no colder than any other hemisphere (on average)
