Answer 2

Which one of the following ocean current is found in southern hemisphere?

• A.Oyashio Current(ओयाशियो करंट)
• B.West wind drift(पश्चिम हवा का बहाव)
• C.Gulf Stream(गल्फ स्ट्रीम)
• D.Canaries Current(कैनरी करंट)

ANSWER:-

• B. West wind drift is the correct answer

• West wind drift is the ocean current which is found in the southern hemisphere

EXPLANATION:-

• West wind drift also known as Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) is a southern hemisphere ocean current which moves from west to east at around 40°-55°S in a clockwise direction due to existing western winds. It orbits the globe and passes through the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans and in the oceans, the cold currents of Bengal, West Australia, and Peru branch off from West Wind Drift.

• West Wind Drifts is an oceanic drift which is the largest and strongest ocean current in the world, stretching from the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans, and it is also the exclusively circumpolar current because of the lack of landmasses in its way.

• The formation of West Wind Drift is the relationship of strong westerly winds across the Southern Ocean and the vast differences in temperature between the Equator and the poles.
