5. Counterclockwise

6. Clockwise

7. East Coast

8. West Coast

9. West Coast

Step-by-step explanation:

5. Counterclockwise: the south pacific currents rotate in a counterclockwise direction. This is as a result of the Coriolis force and Earth trade's wind.

6. Clockwise: the North Pacific currents rotate in a clockwise direction also as a result of earth trade's wind

7. East Coast: East Coast of North America has warm water. This is as a result of the movement of Atlantic water from the south.

8. West Coast: West coast of Australia has cold water. This is as a result of the counterclockwise movement in the southern part of the Indian Ocean

9. West Coast: West Coast of South America have cold water. This is because of the Peru current which moves north onward the western coast of the continent.
