प्रश्न
Explain the effect of meeting of warm and cold ocean currents.
उत्तर
- Ocean currents are the horizontal continuous flow of a mass of water from one place to another.
- They are of 2 types – warm and cold ocean current. The meeting of cold and warm currents results in a meeting of the overlying warm air and cold air.
- The warm air meeting the colder air will cool the warm air below its dew point, resulting in the formation of a thick fog.
- This meeting point of ocean currents also provides a rich ground for fishing due to the abundant presence of plankton.
