The warm currents move from the Equator toward the poles because they are pushed by the cold currents.

Explanation:

The ocean currents are divided into cold and warm ocean currents. The warm ocean currents, as the name suggests, are warm, and they are also less dense and move on the surface. These ocean currents form at the low latitudes, around the Equator, and move toward the high latitudes, or rather toward the poles.

The movement of the warm currents is in this manner because they are pushed by the cold ocean currents. The cold ocean currents move from the poles toward the Equator. They are cold, denser, and move deeper. As the reach the lower latitudes though, they start to warm up, so they rise toward the surface, so the already warmed up water is pushed away.

Some ocean currents are:

  • Gulf Stream (warm)
  • Aqulhas (warm)
  • North Pacific Drift (warm)
  • Canary (cold)
  • Peru (cold)
  • South Pacific (cold)

Answer:

caliph - successor to Muhammad

Zionism  - the movement to establish a Jewish state

Aliyah -  immigrations of Jews to the holy land

diaspora - a group that is scattered outside it traditional homeland

Explanation:

After Muhammed died he was succeeded by Abu Bakr, the first of the caliphs. Because of internal conflicts, from 661 new Caliphate - Umayyad was  established, although Abbasid Caliphate made even larger impact.

Jewish diaspora was created after the exile of Jews, from their homeland, most notably during the Babylonian captivity. They were scattered across the globe, but with the rise of Zionism movement in the second half of 19th Century, idea to return Jews to their homeland started spreading. Aliyah happened once more, as in the times of Abraham and Moses.
