What are ocean currents?



Answer -

Ocean currents are streams of water flowing constantly on the ocean surface in definite directions. They may be warm or cold currents:
  1. Warm currents originate near the equator and move towards the poles. They bring about warm temperatures over land surfaces, for example, the Gulf stream.
  2. Cold currents originate near poles and move towards tropical or lower latitudes. They bring about coolness over land surfaces, for example, Labrador current.
