Do currents on the western boundary of a gyre tend to be cold deep and fast?

A gyre is a current driven by the wind. The western boundary currents tend to be warm in temperature, and fast in speed. They are also deeper than the cold and slow eastern boundary currents.

What are the major differences between eastern boundary currents in gyres and the western boundary currents in gyres?
Eastern boundary currents are relatively shallow, broad, and slow-flowing. Western boundary currents are warm, deep, narrow, and fast-flowing currents that form on the west side of ocean basins due to western intensification.

How are deep ocean currents form?
Cold ocean currents sink under warm ocean currents to form deep ocean currents.
What is the primary difference between surface currents and deep currents?
Compare and contrast surface currents and deep currents. They are both are moving water that flows through oceans. Surface currents are towards the top of the ocean, can be warm or cold, and are controlled by winds. Deep currents are low, deep in the ocean, cold, and are controlled by density.
What effects do deeps currents have?
Deep ocean currents have enormous effect on climatic conditions. Deep ocean currents are also known as conveyor belt for temperature. There are two types of water currents, cold and warm. The warm water currents are less dense than cold water currents.
The rising of cold currents to the ocean surface is called?
The rising of the deep cold currents to the ocean surface is called

What is cold-water currents and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
Deep ocean currents are created by cold water rising sinking or staying the same?
deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night. deep ocean currents are created by yo mama..... at night.
What are deep-water currents caused by cold water sinking and pushing up warmer water?
density currents.
What do you call the circulation in ocean that brings deep cold water to the surface?
Ocean convection currents move the deep cold water to the surface of oceans.
