Cold water travels from the poles towards the equator. An example of a cold water current is the California Current. Warm water travels from the equator towards the poles. An example of a warm water current is the Gulf Stream.

Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
Difference between cold and warm currents?
Warm currents are warm whereas cold currents are cold. Warm currents flow from the equatorial regions towards the polar regions whereas cold currents flow from the polar regions to the equatorial regions. By- Avyukt Sharma
How is an ocean current considered to be warm or cold?
Warm or cold defines the temperature of the water. In general warm currents flow north and cold currents flow south. That makes sense. Also warm currents flow on the surface and cold currents flow deep since cold water is denser than warm water.
Which are the areas of convergence of warm and cold currents?
Low pressure centers are the zones of convergence of warm and cold currents.
Is the benguela current warm or cold?
Cold water currents
How are hot and cold currents formed?
where do warm and cold currents begin?warm from the mid ocean ( equator )cold North and South pole
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
Are The Benguela Current the Peru Current and the California Current warm currents .?
they're cold currents
Why are some currents cold and some warm?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
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.
Why ocean currents that originate near equator is warm?
As the equator is warm, the currents that originate from there are also warm.
Why are some density currents warm and others cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
