North equatorial and south equatorial currents flow in which direction?
North Equatorial flow clockwise and southern counter-clockwise.
Which current is responsible for increasing the temperature of western europe?
north equatorial
How did the North Equatorial and South Equatorial get their name?
The North Equatorial Current got its name from the fact that it is north of the equator and vise versa with the South Equatorial Current, the fact that it is South of the Equator.
How are the north equatorial and south equatorial currents in the pacific ocean alike and different?
The North Equatorial Current and South Equatorial Current in the Pacific Ocean are both warm, fast-moving currents that flow towards the west. They are driven by the trade winds. One key difference is that the North Equatorial Current is influenced by the North Pacific Gyre, while the South Equatorial Current is influenced by the South Pacific Gyre.
How did the North Equatorial and South Equatorial currents got their names?
Probably by what kind of current they get there.
What hemisphere is the north equatorial current located in?
As it is called the 'North Equatorial Current' the name would suggest that it is located North of the equator, in the Northern hemisphere.
What is the relationship between the north equatorial current and the golf stream?
They are complimentary the gulf stream caries warm surface waters north. The north equatorial current carries cold deep waters south.
Which ocean current helped Columbus on his voyage?
North Equatorial Current
Which coastline deflects the equatorial currents?
The coastlines that deflect equatorial currents are primarily those of South America and Africa. In South America, the eastward flowing North Equatorial Current is deflected southward along the coast, contributing to the formation of the Brazil Current. Similarly, the coast of Africa experiences deflection of the North Equatorial Current, which is redirected towards the southwest, resulting in the Canary Current. These coastlines play a crucial role in shaping oceanic circulation patterns.
Do surface currents occur only to the pacific ocean?

Which two currents are relatively close in magnitude?
The North Equatorial Current and the South Equatorial Current are relatively close in magnitude due to their similar latitudinal positions and the Coriolis effect influencing the strength of ocean currents at the equator.
North equatorial and south equatorial currents flow in what direction?
The North Equatorial Current flows westward across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, generally towards the west. In contrast, the South Equatorial Current also flows westward but is located in the Southern Hemisphere, similarly moving across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Both currents are driven by trade winds and play a significant role in the oceanic circulation.
