The Eastern Lowlands
The ocean current flowing along the west coast of a continent in the midlatitudes tends to be cooler compared to ocean currents along the east coast due to upwelling of colder water from deeper layers. This phenomenon brings nutrient-rich water to the surface, supporting diverse marine ecosystems. Examples include the California Current off the west coast of North America, which contributes to the cooler temperatures in that region.
