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

Surface currents in the ocean originate with winds that also causes upwelling, which forms a circulating pattern. When the ocean and the atmosphere touch energy is transferred from the wind to the water from friction, causing the surface of the water to move.

Where do cold-water and warm-water currents begin?
Cold Water begins at the poles and warm water begins at the equator
Where do cold water and warm water currents begin?
Cold Water begins at the poles and warm water begins at the equator
What is cold-water currents and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.
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
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.
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.

What are deep-water currents caused by cold water sinking and pushing up warmer water?
density currents.
How do warm water currents influence climate?
The Warm and Cold water currents effect Earth's climate. The water currents bring cold artic water to the equator, and the warm water from the equater frows to the artic. This heat traveling in the water ceeps plases such as Europe from freezing over.
How do ocean currents get warm or cold?
if its by the equator or the two poles, its gonna be cold water currents. hope this helps :)
What carries cold and warm ocean water around the world?
Currents
Why are cold ocean water currents more likely located at deeper depths than warm water currents?
cold water is more dense and sinks i think
