Movement and current status of pacific plates?
The Pacific Plate is one of the major tectonic plates that make up Earth's lithosphere. It is moving northwest at a rate of about 10 cm per year. The current status of the Pacific Plate is that it is continuously moving and interacting with other tectonic plates, leading to various geological activities like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What is The Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent known as?
The Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent is also known as the Equatorial Undercurrent. It is a narrow, deep, and swift eastward-flowing ocean current located in the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean.
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.
Where is the East and West current?
The East Australian Current flows southward along Australia's east coast in the Pacific Ocean. The Kuroshio Current flows northward along Japan's east coast in the western North Pacific Ocean.

Describe how ocean surface temperatures change from the northern pacific ocean southward to antarctica?
Ocean surface temperatures generally decrease from the Northern Pacific Ocean southward to Antarctica. In the Northern Pacific, warmer waters are influenced by the North Pacific Current and the Kuroshio Current, which bring warmer temperatures. As one moves southward, particularly past the equator, the waters cool significantly due to the influence of the cold Humboldt Current along the western coast of South America and the Southern Ocean's circumpolar currents. By the time you reach Antarctica, the surface temperatures are among the coldest in the world, often near freezing.
