Answer:
Effects of ocean currents: · Winds that blow onshore pass over ocean currents and are influenced by the temperatures of these currents. Thus, hot and cold currents affect the climate of coastal regions. · Deserts of the world are found along the western side of continents where cold currents flow. · When warm ocean currents move from the middle latitudes (which are warmer) to higher latitudes (which are cooler) the warmth or heat is carried to the temperate and polar areas. · When cold and warm currents meet, thick fog is formed overseas and oceans but these are the fishing grounds of the world. · Ships move much faster and save time and fuel if they sail along with ocean currents.
