उत्तर
- The Warm Currents: These are the currents that go from the tropical zones' low latitudes to the temperate and subpolar zones' high latitudes. They introduce warm water into regions with chilly water.
- The Cold Currents: These currents carry cold water into warm water regions and have a lower surface temperature. These currents move from the Polar regions to the low latitudes in the warm Equator zone via the high latitudes.
