Away from the equator
Currents and global winds flow east to west near the equator. An ocean current changes direction when it hits a continent.
westward
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
warm currents flow away from the equator.
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
Away from the equator
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).

towards the equator (south)
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
warm currents flow away from the equator.
The steady flow of surface ocean water in a prevailing direction.
This current flows southerly towards the equator.
Currents that flow away from the equator are warmer than the currents that flow towards it. This is because the ocean near the equator has the warmest water
