Question

Narrow, fast, and deep currents that move water polar-ward are called:

a) Equatorial currents
b) Western boundary currents
c) Downwelling currents
d) Antarctic circumpolar currents

Answer 1

Antarctic circumpolar currents are narrow, fast, and deep currents that move water polar-ward. They surround the continent of Antarctica and move from west to east in a clockwise rotation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Narrow, fast, and deep currents that move water polar-ward are called Antarctic circumpolar currents. These currents surround the continent of Antarctica and move from west to east in a clockwise rotation around the continent. They are driven by the West Wind Drift, or the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.
