👉 In geography and environmental science, a crosscurrent is a type of current that moves between two or more water bodies. These currents are often found in lakes, rivers, oceans, and other bodies of water where freshwater flows into saltwater. Crosscurrents can be characterized by the presence of multiple moving streams or rivers with different flow rates and directions. Crosscurrents are important for regulating the flow of water in these bodies of water as they help to distribute the energy from the sun evenly across the surface
