near the equator
As the equator is warm, the currents that originate from there are also warm.
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Currents that originate near the equator are going to be warm water currents, and currents that form near the poles will be cold water currents. It is the temperature of the waters in these currents that influence the climates of the land masses by or around which they flow.
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Warm ocean currents originate near the equator. Cold ocean currents originatenear the poles. When ocean water becomes denser, it sinks to the bottom of the ocean.
near the equator
gravity on masses of seawater that are denser than surrrounding water causeing the denser water to sink .density currents slowly circulate deep ocean water.cool current from the western coast originate far from the equator , warm currents along eastern coast begin near the equator ,differences in temperature an salinity between water masses in the ocean setup circulate called density currents
The Equator
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
