Question

What do you mean by ‘California Current’?

Answer 1

Answer:

The California Current is a Pacific Ocean current that moves southward along the western coast of North America, beginning off southern British Columbia and ending off southern Baja California Peninsula. It is considered an Eastern boundary current due to the influence of the North American coastline on its course.

Answer 2

The California current is the eastern boundary current of the North Pacific Gyre, running southward from British Columbia, Canada to Baja California, Mexico. ... This means that cool, nutrient-rich water is closer to the surface in eastern boundary currents than western boundary currents.
