Answer:

Cold currents flow toward the equator on the eastern side of ocean basins. Examples of cold ocean currents include the Canary Current in the North Atlantic, the California Current in the North Pacific, and the Benguela Current in the South Atlantic. Cold currents can also flow out of far northern regions.

Examples include the Gulf Stream, the Agulhas Current, and the Kuroshio

The three known currents that carry cold water are the Benguela Current, the Humboldt Current, the California Current. Examples are The Gulf Stream, Agulhas Current, the Kuroshio  

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.
