- Areas where warm and cold currents meet tend to have regular foggy conditions, as the overlying warm and cold air come in contact with each other.
- they also tend to have high biological productivity, because plankton growth is encourage by the mixing of warm and cold currents.
- Some of the world's most productive fishing grounds are located where warm and cold currents converge.
- For example, where Labrador current (cold) and Gulf stream (warm) meet, a dense fog is there and it is one of the richest fishing grounds of the world.

How can ocean current affect the temperature and the amount of moisture of the air mass above the current and above nearby coastlines?
Warm currents bring warm temperatures to the poles, and cold currents bring cold temperatures to the equator to become warm again. Once warm, they return to the poles again. This process repeats in some currents forever. Most currents are circular.
What happens at the end of a cold current?
At the end of a cold current, the water may warm up as it moves into regions with higher temperatures. This can lead to changes in marine life distribution, weather patterns, and nutrient availability. Cold currents can also interact with warm currents, creating dynamic ecosystems.
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.
Why are some ocean currents warm and others are cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
How do ocean currents affect the climate or temperature on nearby land?
Ocean currents can transport warm or cold water from one region to another, affecting the temperature of nearby land. For example, warm currents can bring milder temperatures to coastal areas, while cold currents can result in cooler temperatures. Ocean currents also influence weather patterns by transferring heat, moisture, and nutrients, which can in turn impact climate.
Where do warm and cold currents meet?
as they collide the cold and warm front pushes the occluded front to become 3 air masses.
Is it true that when warm and cold currents meet tide is formed?
No, tides are caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon, not by currents.
Why are warm currents warm and cold currents cold?
there are some warm currents as they flow along the earths surface while there some cold currents as they travel below the earths surface
What happens when warm air masses meet cold air masses?
A warm front forms.
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.
Which are the areas of convergence of warm and cold currents?
Low pressure centers are the zones of convergence of warm and cold currents.
Is the benguela current warm or cold?
Cold water currents
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
Difference between cold and warm currents?
Warm currents are warm whereas cold currents are cold. Warm currents flow from the equatorial regions towards the polar regions whereas cold currents flow from the polar regions to the equatorial regions. By- Avyukt Sharma
Why does visibility get reduced when warm and cold currents meet?
Visibility gets reduced when warm and cold currents meet because the temperature difference between the two currents causes mixing and turbulence in the water. This turbulence can stir up sediments and particles in the water, reducing visibility by creating a murky or cloudy appearance.
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
Are deep ocean currents predominantly cold or warm?
Deep ocean currents are predominantly cold.
