उत्तर

Warm currents flow from the lower latitudes towards the higher latitudes.

Explanation:

Warm currents are ocean currents that flow from the equator (lower latitudes) toward the poles (higher latitudes). These currents carry warm water, helping to increase the temperature of coastal regions they pass. They are driven mainly by wind patterns and Earth's rotation. An example is the Gulf Stream, which warms the eastern coast of North America and western Europe. In contrast, cold currents flow from the poles toward the equator.
