Question

Which currents are absent in northern part of the indian ocen and why

Answer 1

The currents in the northern portion of the Indian Ocean change their direction from season to season in response to the seasonal rhythm of the monsoons. The effect of winds is comparatively more pronounced in the Indian Ocean.

Answer 2

Answer:

Summer Circulation – North Equatorial Current Counter-Equatorial Current are Absent. In summer, due to the effects of the strong south-west monsoon and the absence of the north-east trades, a strong current flows from west to east, which completely obliterates the north equatorial current.
