An ocean current is a continuous movement of water in the ocean in some direction - this means that the water flows at a similar speed and direction despite the fact that it's not the same water - i.e. there is a water exchange in the current. The currents are caused by such factors as temperature and salinity of water.

Where did the original atmospheric oxygen come from
faust18 [17]

The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.

The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.
