Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Such winds are predominantly horizontal in nature.
Sixth grade work..... SMH
On the average, it most often blow horizontally.
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
At the poles.
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
westward
This current flows southerly towards the equator.
warm surface currents come from the polar and temperate latitudes, and they tend to flow towards the equator. Like the warm surface currents, mainly atmospheric forces drive them. Gyres form when the major ocean currents connect. Water flows in a circular pattern-clockwise in the northern hemisphere, and clockwise in the Southern hemisphere.
The circulation of cold and warm water between the poles and the equator, and the rotation of the earth, cause ocean currents to flow.
