Question

Explain the effect of Cold ocean currents on the movement of icebergs.

Answer 1

Ocean currents are the horizontal continuous flow of a mass of water from one place to another. They are of 2 types – warm and cold ocean current. Cold ocean current flows from poles to the equator. In this process, there are chances that icebergs from the polar areas get carried along the current. This, in turn, poses a threat to marine routes where frequent movement of ships takes place. For example, the Labrador Current is dangerous for ships because it carries icebergs into the Atlantic Ocean.
