I like looking at the water currents, its crazy around the equator but pretty still except for a few major currents. is that because earth spins fastest at the equator???
I think it's because the water currents are driven by water moving to or from areas of different temperatures. At the equator the temperature is as hot as it gets so there is no driving force to send the water anywhere else, so low currents.
The same apples to the wind.
