Why do warm current like the kuroshio <br><br><br> current flow away from the equator?
luda_lava [24]

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)
