Quotation marks, also called 'inverted commas', are of two types: single and double. British practice is normally to enclose quoted matter between single quotation marks, and to use double quotation marks for a quotation within a quotation:
The oceans absorb the sun's heat, transferring it to the atmosphere and distributing it around the world via the ever-moving ocean currents. This drives global weather patterns and acts as a heater in the winter and an air conditioner in the summer.

Warm ocean currents bring warm water to the poles so that they don't freeze, and cold ocean currents bring down water from the poles. This affects global climate. For instance, I live near the Gulf Stream Current, a warm ocean current.
