Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cool ocean currents deflect global Earth surface isotherms equatorward, meaning they cause the lines of equal temperature to shift closer to the equator. This is because the cool currents lower the temperature of the surface water, making the isotherms bend towards the equator where the temperatures are generally warmer.
