The cold current flowing along the coast of Chile and Peru is known as

  • A.Agulhas
  • B.EL-Nino
  • C.Humbolt
  • D.Canary

Answer: C

The cold current along the coast of Chile and Peru is the Humboldt current (also called the Peru current).

It carries cold water north from the southern ocean along the west coast of South America and supports a rich fishery. The Agulhas is a warm current off south-east Africa, the Canary is a cold current off north-west Africa, and El Nino is a warm episode off Peru that disturbs the Humboldt current, not the cold current itself.
