Question

__________ is not a cause of generation of ocean currents.

  1. Planetary winds
  2. Changes in ocean water temperature
  3. Revolution of the Earth
  4. Shape and configuration of the coastlines 

hintHint:

Revolution of the Earth is not a cause.

The correct answer is: Revolution of the Earth


    • Planetary winds, changes in ocean water temperature and shape & configuration of coastline are the cause of generation of ocean currents.
    • So, the correct option is c.

    ________is a warm ocean current.

    • The surface waters of the Kuroshio Current are warm and salty.
    • This is because the Kuroshio starts in the tropics where the westward flowing North Equatorial Current reaches the western boundary of the North Pacific.
    • Peruvian current, is a cold, low-salinity ocean current that flows north along the western coast of South America.
    • The Labrador current is a cold ocean current that flows from the Arctic Ocean southward along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland.
