Explanation:
- There are five major ocean wide gyres -the North Atlantic, South Atlantic, North Pacific, South Pacific and Indian Ocean gyres.
- Each is flanked by a strong and narrow western boundary current and a weak and broad eastern boundary current.
- Ocean currents act like conveyor belt transporting precipitation and warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from poles to the tropics thereby regulating global climate and counteracting uneven solar radiation.
- Cold currents flow towards the equator on the eastern side of the ocean basins.
