The false statement about ocean surface currents is:
They have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast.
This statement is incorrect because ocean surface currents do influence air temperatures over coastal land areas. The temperature of the ocean water affects the air above it, which can have significant effects on the climate and weather of adjacent land regions.
