It is characterized by a rotating current system, or eddy, that forms in the western Pacific Ocean due to the complex interactions of ocean currents, wind patterns, and geographical features. Mindanao Eddy plays a crucial role in regional ocean circulation and has implications for local climate, marine ecosystems, and fishing activities.
