Question

The current of the Atlantic ocean is​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• The North Atlantic Current breaks up into two branches on reaching the eastern part of the ocean.
• The main current, continuing as the North Atlantic Drift, reaches the British Isles from where it flows along the coast of Norway as the Norwegian current and enters the Arctic Ocean
• Norwegian current is very important as it keeps ocean to the north of Norway partly free from ice and also moderates the extremes of climate. It is because of this current, Russia is able to move cargo in summers through Arctic ocean (Barents Sea).
• The southerly branch flows between Spain and Azores as the cold Canary current.
• This current finally joins the north equatorial current completing the circuit in the North Atlantic
• The Sargasso Sea, lying within this circuit, is full of large quantities of seaweed and is an important geographical feature.
