Elements of Weather and Climate: Ocean Currents, Slope of Land

The ocean currents that move towards the Equator are -

• Cold currents
• Warm currents

Which of these affect the ocean currents of a region? (multiple correct)

• Wind

• Humidity

• Change in water density

• Revolution of Earth

The south-facing slopes of the mountains in the northern hemisphere are good for settlements as -

• They are cool and good for agriculture

• They are warm and not good for agriculture

• They are warm and good for agriculture

• They are cool and not good for agriculture

The ocean currents in the northern hemisphere of the Earth move

• In an anticlockwise direction

• In a clockwise direction

• In a straight line
• do not move at all

Coriolis effect in the southern hemisphere makes the storm swirl in the (a)   direction

• North facing slopes in the northern hemisphere are cooler

Do ocean currents affect the temperature of a region?

• No, ocean currents do not affect the temperature of a region
• Yes, ocean currents affect the temperature of a region
• Ocean currents only affect the temperature of the ocean, not the region
• Ocean currents have no relation with temperature
