The North Equatorial Current and South Equatorial Current in the Pacific Ocean are both warm, fast-moving currents that flow towards the west. They are driven by the trade winds. One key difference is that the North Equatorial Current is influenced by the North Pacific Gyre, while the South Equatorial Current is influenced by the South Pacific Gyre.
The North Equatorial Current got its name from the fact that it is north of the equator and vise versa with the South Equatorial Current, the fact that it is South of the Equator.
The North Equatorial Current flows westward and the South Equatorial Current flows eastward.
don't no
Probably by what kind of current they get there.
nonsense
The warm, low salinity waters from Pacific are transported into Indian Ocean's South Equatorial Current.
They are complimentary the gulf stream caries warm surface waters north. The north equatorial current carries cold deep waters south.
The North Equatorial Current and the South Equatorial Current are relatively close in magnitude due to their similar latitudinal positions and the Coriolis effect influencing the strength of ocean currents at the equator.
The East Australian Current (EAC) is an ocean current that moves warm water from the tropical Coral Sea, where it splits from the South Equatorial Current, down the east coast of Australia.
Antilles Current
The Pacific Equatorial Undercurrent is also known as the Equatorial Undercurrent. It is a narrow, deep, and swift eastward-flowing ocean current located in the equatorial region of the Pacific Ocean.
