Mouse zooms in and cant zoom out

Not sure what gesture is making the mouse zoom into a page. Think its a sliding forward motion, which should just move the pointer, or a variation of the mouse forward movement but I can not zoom out again.

Hold down the Control key and do a scroll down gesture. By default Control and scroll up zooms in, Control and scroll down zooms out.

Thanks but its a different issue. What you mentioned, Control key + scrolling, moves not only the page forward but the entire desktop. The issue im having is that moving the mouse in such a way zooms in on the webpage im viewing and I can not zoom out again. I would think it another move with the moue to zoom out but cant figure out which movement would do so.
