Discussion
Which of the following statements about ocean currents is/are correct ?
A. The cold currents carry water from polar or higher latitudes to tropical or lower latitudes.
B. Labrador is a warm current.
C. Areas where warm and cold currents meet provide world's best fishing grounds.
Answer: B
A and C are correct.
A is true: cold currents carry water from the polar or higher latitudes towards the tropical or lower latitudes, as the Labrador and Humboldt currents do. C is true: where warm and cold currents meet, as off Newfoundland and around Japan, plankton flourishes, and these areas are among the world's best fishing grounds.
B is false: the Labrador Current is a cold current, flowing south from the Arctic along the coast of Canada. So any option including B is wrong, and 'Only A' leaves out C.
