What relationship do you see occurring between the temperature of a current and the temperature of the land area where it is located think coastal areas?

Coastal areas are influenced by the temperature of the nearby ocean currents. Warm ocean currents can lead to higher temperatures and milder climates in coastal areas, while cold ocean currents can result in cooler temperatures and more extreme weather conditions. The temperature of a current can therefore impact the temperature of the land area it is located near, affecting local climate patterns.
