What a warm ocean currents begin at the equator

1 answer

The warm ocean currents that begin at the equator include the North Equatorial Current in the Northern Hemisphere and the South Equatorial Current in the Southern Hemisphere. These currents are driven by the trade winds and move westward towards the western coastlines of continents. They help distribute warm water from the equator to other parts of the ocean, influencing global climate and weather patterns.
