Question

Explain the effect of the meeting of warm and cold ocean currents.

Answer 1

1. Ocean currents are the horizontal continuous flow of a mass of water from one place to another.
2. They are of 2 types - warm and cold ocean currents. The meeting of cold and warm currents results in a meeting of the overlying warm air and cold air.
3. The warm air meeting the colder air will cool the warm air below its dew point, resulting in the formation of a thick fog.
4. This meeting point of ocean currents also provides a rich ground for fishing due to the abundant presence of plankton.
