I just want to make sure this is correct. Ocean currents moving from low latitudes to high are GULFSTREAM, while those moving from high to low are CANARY.The all caps are my answers and I have searched the web and how found several things that might be it but I think it is these two. Thanks
You are almost correct! However, the names you mentioned are the other way around. Let me explain in more detail:
The ocean current that flows from low latitudes to high latitudes is called the CANARY CURRENT. It is a cold, southward-flowing current that moves along the western boundary of the North Atlantic Ocean, near the coast of northwest Africa.
On the other hand, the ocean current that moves from high latitudes to low latitudes is known as the GULF STREAM. It is a warm, northward-flowing current that travels along the eastern coast of the United States before turning eastward towards Europe, contributing to the moderate climate of western Europe.
To remember these names more easily, you can associate the Canary Current with the Canary Islands, a group of islands located near the northwest coast of Africa. Similarly, the Gulf Stream gets its name because it flows through the Gulf of Mexico before entering the North Atlantic Ocean.
It's great that you took the initiative to research and verify the information! Keep up the good work. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else I can help you with, feel free to ask.
