These gyres are the North Atlantic Gyre, South Atlantic Gyre, North Pacific Gyre, South Pacific Gyre, and the Indian Ocean Gyre. They are massive circular systems of ocean currents that are driven by the rotation of the Earth, wind patterns, and differences in water temperature and salinity. These gyres play a crucial role in transporting heat and nutrients around the globe, influencing weather patterns and the distribution of marine life. They also contribute to the movement of pollutants and debris in the ocean, including the formation of large garbage patches such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
