Fig. 15: Map of ocean currents and a conditional diagram (Garetsky 2006 [17]) showing the similarity of structures of large-scale currents in the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans As seen from Figure 15, the main currents that create all others are the North and South Equatorial currents. If there were no continents, they would close into a circular global current. Meeting the continent, they diverge on different sides of the equator and circulate in closed ocean spaces. As previously discussed, there is a movement of the core mass in the equatorial zone, and this gravitational influence on the ocean waters creates the equatorial currents. This is the only force directed constantly from East to West. These currents lead to increased ocean levels on their western parts, which in turn creates conditions for the appearance of equatorial countercurrents- surface compensating currents. Similar gravitational effects on air masses result in the formation and maintenance of closed ring-like trade winds, whose heights reach stratospheric levels and are not impeded by land, and these winds can no longer be subject to surface heating temperature effects on Earth. The moving "bulge" caused by the deformation of the Earth's crust due to the attraction of the heavy core part and barely noticeable to the average observer, leads to the tidal water flow in the ocean away from the location of the "bulge" to the coastal parts of the oceans, causing oceanic tides. This is why ocean tides never coincide with the passage of the Sun or Moon at the zenith in this place, but they do coincide with low tides. For the same reason, there are no significant tides in the open ocean, while according to contemporary interpretation, they should be maximum and follow the Sun and Moon. 1 Year 2023 57 © 2023 Global Journals Global Journal of Science Frontier Research Volume XXIII Issue ersion I VI ( A ) The New View at the Physics of the Planet Earth Fig. 16: Measurement data.
