Quito: There are two opposing marine currents that influence the climate of Quito. From December to May, the warm current of El Niño coming from the north occurs in the Pacific Ocean and for the rest of the year, the cold Humboldt current comes from the south. When one of these currents becomes stronger and persists longer than normal, there are variations in precipitation on the continent. If the El Niño current is stronger than the Humboldt current, the rains on the continent increase causing floods. If the Humboldt is stronger, the rains decrease causing drought.
Manaus:
Since Manaus is almost right in the middle of South America, there arent very many marine currents to begin with. In fact, there are no marine currents that make a dramatic effect on the city at all.

Is the influence of cool ocean currents on coastal temperatures more pronounced in summer or winter?
It has to be the Summer. In Winter, the ocean currents are WARM compared to coastal temperatures.
How do the mantle's convection currents move to form a mid-ocean ridge?
The mantle's convection currents move in the mantle in the form of magma which creates the mid-ocean ridge. Mid-ocean ridges are found in every ocean in the world and when the currents erupt as lava the eventually cool and create a crust.
Are the ocean currents in the pacific warm or cold?
Both: Tidal currents that flow from the tropics will be warm, and if they flow from the poles will be cool.
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
