Question

How do cold currents influence the temperature of coastal areas?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Cold currents can lower air temperatures and can bring colder temperatures over land, because the current that runs along the California coastline runs from north to south, it carries cool water. Thus the temperature of California's coastal cities is relatively cool. Ocean currents are a continuous and directed movement of the ocean water. This happens through forces acting on the water, such as difference in salinity, the waves breaking, temperature, the wind or even the Coriolis effect. The direction of the current is determined by the depth of the contours, other currents acting on the ocean and the nature of the shoreline.
