1.
Differentiate between warm water ocean current and cold water ocean current.
Answer»
According to Ferral’s law, ocean currents move to their right in the southern hemisphere.
Warm currents move towards cold seas and cold currents move towards the warm seas.
In the lower latitudes, warm currents flow on the eastern shores and cold on the western shores.
In the higher latitudes, warm currents flow on the eastern shores and cold on the western shores.
Cold and warm currents meet along the convergence and move out along divergence.
Cold currents move as sun-surface currents and warm currents move as surface currents.
