Question

Assertion (A): Warm currents flow from the low latitudes in Tropical Zones towards the high latitudes.

Reason (R): They bring warm water into cold water areas.

विकल्प

• Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• Both A and R are true but R does not explain A.

• A is true but R is false.

• A is false but R is true.

Answer 1

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation:

• Assertion (A): Warm currents flow from the low latitudes in Tropical Zones towards the high latitudes – True. Warm currents originate near the equator and move poleward, carrying heat energy toward colder regions.

• Reason (R): They bring warm water into cold water areas – True. This is exactly why warm currents flow in that direction — to balance temperature differences across the globe.
