Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Gulf Stream current and Kuroshio are both known for their warm and forceful northward flow in the Northern Hemisphere. The equatorial countercurrents flow in the opposite direction, from east to west. The California and Peru currents are both cold currents that flow southward. Upwelling and downwelling currents refer to vertical movements of water, not horizontal currents.
