The following factors affect the structure of water bodies:
1. Latitudinal Distance: On moving from the equator towards the poles, water bodies become cool from hot.
2. Rainfall or Snowfall: The nature of water bodies changes by the rainfall or snowfall.
3. Direction of Permanent Winds: Blowing of permanent winds is the controller of the nature to water bodies.
4. Sinking or Divergence of Water: Also due to the divergence or changes occurring in water, the water bodies undergo changes in their original nature.
5. Oceanic Currents: The oceanic currents, according to their nature, bring about changes in the nature of water bodies.
6. Oceanic Vertex: The velocity, nature and direction of water bodies also change due to the vertexes occurring in the oceanic regions.
