प्रश्न
Why do the ports in the eastern coast of Canada freeze in winter?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The Labrador Current flows along the east coast of Canada. Due to this, the climate there is very cold. Due to the cold ocean currents, glaciers flow into this area from the polar regions. Also, in winter, the temperature in January is 28°C, while in July the temperature is 16°C, so the ports on the east coast of Canada freeze in winter.
