Worked practice questions

Which one is a drift under the classification of ocean flows?

  1. The Gulf Stream
  2. The Labrador Current
  3. North Atlantic Drift
  4. Circumpolar Current
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. North Atlantic Drift

1. Drifts are forward movement of surface water under prevailing wind. 2. The North Atlantic Drift is the named example. 3. The Gulf Stream is a stream and the Labrador Current is a current. _Source: Wikipedia, Ocean current, lead section_

How are ocean currents classified by temperature?

  1. Warm and cold currents
  2. Fresh and salty currents
  3. Fast and slow currents
  4. Deep and shallow currents
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Warm and cold currents

1. By temperature, ocean currents are warm or cold. 2. Speed and size give a different classification into drifts, currents and streams. 3. Depth separates surface from deep-water currents. _Source: Wikipedia, Ocean current, lead section_
