Harappa is a major city located in the Punjab,This culture existed along the Indus River in present day Pakistan and India. It was named after the city of Harappa which it was centered around. Harappa and the city of Mohenjo-Daro were the greatest achievements of the Indus valley civilization. These cities are well known for their impressive, organized and regular layout, road and street network, drainage and step-wells for water. The Harappans used chisels, pickaxes, and saws. The saws they used had undulated edges so that dust escaped from the cut that they were sawing. These tools were most likely made of copper, as copper tools and weapons have been found at Harappan sites. Houses and other buildings were made of sun-dried or kiln-fired mud brick. These bricks were so strong, that they have stood up to thousands of years of wear.

Labrador Current : It is a Cold Current ,It meets the warm Gulf Stream at the Grand Banks southeast of Newfoundland and again north of the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The combination of these two currents produces heavy fogs and also one of the richest fishing grounds in the world. Falkland Current : It is a Cold Current flowing north along the Atlantic coast of Patagonia. Canary Current is a wind-driven surface  current. This eastern boundary current branches south from the North Atlantic Current and flows southwest about as far as Senegal where it turns west and later joins the Atlantic North Equatorial Current .A prominent feature of Eastern Boundary Currents is the presence of upwelling. Ekman drift causes offshore transport of surface waters, which are then replaced with deep water from below. Deep waters are cold and Nutrient-rich and have a key role in stimulating Primary productivity. Upwelling has led to the enhancement of coastal fisheries in western Morocco.

Kuroshio Current : It is warm current sustaining the coral reefs of Japan,sometimes known as Japan Current or Black Stream California Current : It is a cold current which helps in growth of fisheries and phytoplankton along the coastal areas of California,it moves south along the western coast of North America Oyashio Current :  Also known as Kurile Current, is a cold subarctic ocean current that flows south and circulates counterclockwise in the western North Pacific Ocean. It collides with the Kuroshio Current off the eastern shore of Japan to form the North Pacific Current.It forms one of the richest fisheries in the world South Equatorial Current : It is a warm current  is a significant Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Ocean current that flows east-to-west between the equator.
