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.

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.

How density currents circulated water?
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
