- Surface current constitute more than the deep-water currents.
- Cold currents are usually found in the west coast in the higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere.
- Warm currents are found on the east coast of continents in the low and middle latitudes.
Which of the above statements is/are correct?
CorrectSolution: c)
Ocean currents can also be classified based on temperature: as cold currents and warm currents: (i) 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; (ii) 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.

The California Ocean current, which flows along the west coast of North America, is a
CorrectSolution: b)
The California Current is a Pacific Ocean current that moves southward along the western coast of North America, beginning off southern British Columbia and ending off southern Baja California Peninsula. It is considered an Eastern boundary current due to the influence of the North American coastline on its course. It is also one of five major coastal currents affiliated with strong upwelling zones, the others being the Humboldt Current, the Canary Current, the Benguela Current, and the Somali Current. The California Current is part of the North Pacific Gyre, a large swirling current that occupies the northern basin of the Pacific.
