How did the presence of the Labrador current contribute to the sinking of the titanic?
The sea of icebergs came from the Greenland Glaciers, and it was carried there by the Labrador Current. So, very likely the Titanic was in the middle of the Labrador Current, and the water temperatures that faithful night was also due to that current.
What does current affects?
Climate 2nd Answer: Climate and weather, depending on the type of current. For instance, the climate around Greenland in the Arctic is warm right now because the ocean current called the North Atlantic Oscillation. That means it changes from warm to cold to warm to cold to warm . . . every so many decades. In another 15 years, Greenland is likely to be really, really cold when the North Atlantic Oscillation starts going back to its cold state.
What are facts about the Labrador Sea?
The Labrador Sea is a body of water between Greenland and the coast of Labrador. It is 3400 m deep and 1000 km wide. The sea's circulation is anticlockwise. The West Greenland Current transports warmer, more saline water northward, while the Labrador Currenr transports cold, less saline water southward. The northern and western Labrador Sea is ice-covered from December through June.
Where do north Atlantic iceburgs come from?
They come from up north towards Greenland. When they break off they float down in the Labrador current.

Where does the Labrador current start and where does it flow?
The Labrador current (which is found in relatively shallow water), starts south of Greenland and moves along side the North East edge of North America (Canada) until it meets the Gulf Current, a few hundred miles south of Newfoundland (the edge of the Contintinental shelf). Sometimes the Labrador current goes as far south as Bermuda or as far east as the Azores.

What 3 ocean currents affect Canada's climate?
The Labrador Current, the Gulf Stream, and the North Atlantic Current are the main ocean currents that influence Canada's climate. The Labrador Current brings cold water southward along the east coast, while the warm waters of the Gulf Stream flow northward along the east coast, moderating temperatures. The North Atlantic Current also plays a role in influencing weather patterns and temperature fluctuations in coastal areas.
What is the name of a warm ocean current that affects England's climate?

How do current affects climate?
Currents from a warm source flow a certain path near land makes the climate warmer
How those the breakup of pangaea affected Greenland's climate?
The breakup of Pangaea eventually led to the separation of Greenland from other land masses, resulting in its current isolated position near the North Pole. This isolation led to Greenland's climate becoming colder and more arctic over time, particularly due to the loss of warmer ocean currents that once influenced its climate.
What is one cool ocean currents that affects the climate of iceland?
The North Atlantic Current is one cool ocean current that affects the climate of Iceland. This warm, swift current brings relatively mild temperatures to Iceland, making its climate milder than other regions at similar latitudes.
