What happens when cold currents mix with warm currents?

• Mixed currents are formed

• The currents mix together and cause tsunamis

• The currents mix together and forms fog

• The currents decide to breakup and leave forever

Answer explanation

When the warm and the cold currents meet, dense fog is created. This is because air above the warm currents is warm which contains water vapour. When this warm current meet the cold current, the air above the cold current, causes the water vapour of the warm current to condense into tiny particles which form fog

Due to the mixture of cold and warm currents, a thick, dense fog develops over the surface of the ocean in these regions. Also, there is a large amount of marine life present in the region.
