Question

In the Northern Hemisphere, warm oceanic currents are found:

generally moving from south to north on the eastern side of the oceanic basins

generally moving from north to south on the eastern side of the oceanic basins

generally moving from south to north on the western side of the oceanic basins

generally moving from north to south on the western side of the oceanic basins

None of the above

A.

generally moving from south to north on the eastern side of the oceanic basins

B.

generally moving from north to south on the eastern side of the oceanic basins

C.

generally moving from south to north on the western side of the oceanic basins

D.

generally moving from north to south on the western side of the oceanic basins

E.

None of the above

Explanation / Answer

C

Ocean currents in the north hemisphere move in clock wise direction. So the warm ocean currents move from South to North along the Western boundary of ocean basin and the opposite is the process for cold currents , which moves toward equator from North to South direction along eastern boundary of ocean basin
