How do ocean currents affect temperature? check all that apply. they carry cold water from the poles to the equator and cool air over land. they flow north and then south below the equator. they flow south and then north above the equator. they move warm water from the equator to the poles and heat air over land. they move east to west and create prevailing winds. they move west to east and create seasonal winds.

What is the general rule about surface currents? cold water flows along the ocean floor towards the equator. the east coasts of continents have cold surface currents, and the west coasts of continents have warm surface currents. seasonal and constant offshore winds create significant upwelling along the west coasts of south and north america and africa. the west coasts of continents have cold surface currents, and the east coasts of continents have warm surface currents.

The great scientist alfred wegener proposed that continents have moved, while other scientists such as t.c.chamberlin argued against wegener. wegener's ideas eventually won, and are now widely accepted, because: a) wegener's ideas were more beautiful, and so were favored by the intellectual elite.b) wegener's ideas did a better job of predicting the results of new observations and experiments.c) wegener's ideas appealed to dead white european males, whereas chamberlin's didn't.d) wegener's ideas appalled dead white european males, and we all know that in this politically correct era,dead white european males cannot get a fair shake.e) wegener won the nobel prize.
