Which currents make up the north Atlantic gyre?
How do currents that flow along the west coast of continents compare with Currents that flow along the east coasts of continents
What is a north Atlantic current?
The North Atlantic Current is a vast, slow moving warm current. It is created from the Gulf Stream and the Labrador Current joining at southern Greenland, which creates the widening and slowing of the Gulf Stream. The North Atlantic Current splits near western Europe, one part creating the warm Norway Current flowing northward along the coast of Norway and the other creating the cold Canary Current deflecting southward, eventually warming and rejoining the North Equatorial Current.
Which two ocean currents are both warm currents that primarily flow away from the equator?
The Gulf Stream and the Kuroshio Current are both warm ocean currents that primarily flow away from the equator. The Gulf Stream flows from the Gulf of Mexico across the North Atlantic Ocean, while the Kuroshio Current flows along the eastern coast of Japan.
What is the name of the most important warm current flowing along the Atlantic coast of north America?

Why are the ports of England and Norway open all the year round?
England and Norway both benefit from the warming effects of the North Atlantic Current. The North Atlantic Current (North Atlantic Drift and the North Atlantic Sea Movement) is a powerful warm ocean current that continues the Gulf Stream northeast. West of Ireland, it splits in two. One branch (the Canary Current) goes south while the other continues north along the coast of northwestern Europe. It helps keep the ports along the coasts warm enough to stay open year around and is even thought to have a considerable warming influence on the climate. Although the North Atlantic Current mixes with colder water coming from the Baltic Sea and the Norwegian fjords, it still remains warm enough to keep the ports along the coast open.
What windless area is near the equator?
It's an area in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans called the "Doldrums." It is a low pressure area along the equator caused when all the hot air along the equator rises very high and flows North or South. Eventually it comes back down in the horse latitudes, about 30 to 36 degrees North and South of the equator.Also, if you wanna know what is just the "area near the equator" alone, it is the tropical zone.
