Question

Name one warm and one cold current which meet each other near Japan and help in the growth of fish.

Answer 1

Locations where warm and cold currents converge provide the ideal conditions for plankton growth. This situation occurs off the coast of Newfoundland where the Warm Gulf Stream from the south meets the Cold Labrador current from the north. Similarly, one of the world’s most significant fishing grounds has developed along the Japanese coast thanks to the convergence of the warm Kuro Shio current from the south and the cold Oya Shio current from the north.
