How do currents affect the temperature? How does it affect the temperature of coastal areas in the N. W. Europe?



Answer -

Impact of currents on temperature varies depending on whether currents are warm or cold.
1. Cold currents: Cold currents bring cold water into warm water areas. These currents are usually found on the west coast of the continents in the low and middle latitudes (true in both hemispheres) and on the east coast in the higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere.
2.  Warm currents: Warm currents bring warm water into cold water areas and are usually observed on the east coast of continents in the low and middle latitudes (true in both hemispheres). In the northern hemisphere they are found on the west coasts of continents in high latitudes.
In North West Europe, warm currents exist. They increase the temperature in coastal areas of N. W. Europe.
