Describing the two types of ocean currents based on their temperature.

Answer 1

1. 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.
2. 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.
