Question

explain why warm ocean currents are less dense than the cold ocean currents

Answer 1

Explanation:

Ocean Currents that move warm water away from the Equator are called warm currents. Warm currents have higher temperatures, so they are less dense than cold water. Usually warm water has a higher salinity, but it remains less dense than cold water, so cold water is heavier and flows under warm water.

Answer 2

Answer:

Warm ocean currents are less dense than the cold ocean currents because the warm ocean currents originate near the equator and move towards the poles. Due to high temperature, moisture content in the air becomes very less making the warm currents rise the temperature over land surface. Whereas, cold ocean currents blow from Poles towards the equator. Here the temperature is less and moisture content is more, making these currents more dense than the warm currents...
