Answer 1

Answer:

An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences.

Explanation:

Three effects of ocean currents are. 1)it plays an important role in influencing the climate of the coastal regions of continents. 2)it raises the temperature and makes the place warmer than the surrounding areas. 3)warm ocean currents causes rainfall.

Answer 2

Answer:

Ocean current :

• An ocean current is a continuous, directed movement of sea water generated by a number of forces acting upon the water, including wind, the Coriolis effect, breaking waves, cabbeling, and temperature and salinity differences.

Effect of ocean current:

• Maintaining the climate around the poles. Warm currents move toward the poles while the cold current move toward the equator.
• Causing rains. Currents are also responsible for rains.
• Ocean water directs ocean currents.
• They create global conveyor belts.
