<u>Answer:</u>

They generally blow from "West to East".  

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The direction of a surface ocean current is largely governed by the direction of winds flowing over the ocean in that particular region.
  • The "impact of the Coriolis effect" in the Atlantic ocean tends the winds to flow in a particular direction or to a particular side.
  • The "winds deflect" to the right in the "northern hemisphere", whereas, they deflect to the left in the "southern hemisphere".

What is the role of Temperature, density and air pressure in a convection cell?
scZoUnD [109]

Convection is a process which transfers the heat between the temperatures when fluid (i.e. liquid or gas) is in motion. Due to the presence of heat source, water temperature increases and also it will become less dense and rise. Hot air is less dense than cold. When air rises higher in the atmosphere its pressure gets down and it becomes colder.
