Answers
Answer:
ocean current is the continuous movement of a mass of water in a particular direction. they are of two types. warm current and cold current. due to higher density of cold water cold current sinks down below the warm water .Thus the cooler water of polar region moves slowly towards the equator along the bottom of the ocean, the warm water near the equator moves along the surface of the ocean towards the poles in this manner ocean currents are caused. warm currents flow along the east coast of the continents while cold currents flow along the West coast of the continents.
warm current raises the temperature of the adjoining coastal region the cold current make the climate cool and dry the the ocean current modify the climate in the coastal region. the place where both the current meet is ideal for growth of plentiful of plankton. which is the food for marine life the ocean currents help in navigation also.
