Explanation / Answer

Cold water current- A broad and slow-moving current Warm Water Current- A narrow and fast moving current La Nina- Cooler than normal water off the coast of South America EL Nino- warm water off the coast of South America due to weak trade winds Geostrophic Gyre- Circuit of mild-latitude currents around the periphery of an ocean basins Coriolis Force- Deflection caused by Earth's rotation Wind- A force that is directed from high to low pressure Pressure Gradient Force- Horizontal air motion Eastern Boundary Currents- Brings cold water to the equator Western Boundary Currents-Brings warm water to the poles.
