The North Pacific Gyre is a large system of rotating ocean currents in the North Pacific Ocean. It is one of the five major ocean gyres, which are large-scale circular current systems driven by wind patterns and the Earth's rotation. The North Pacific Gyre is bounded by the following currents: 1. **California Current**: Flowing southward along the west coast of North America. 2. **North Equatorial Current**: Flowing westward across the Pacific Ocean, near the equator.
