Which ocean surface current travels north along the eastern united states coast? a. labrador current b. canaries current c. gulf stream d. equatorial current

The answer is C. Gulf Stream is the name of the ocean current that travels north along the U.S. East Coast.

Ocean currents are continued movements of ocean water, there can be ocean currents on the surface or on the depths of the ocean. The Gulf Stream is a large-scale current that exists on the surface, it travels north from the Caribbean towards Europe, passing through the eastern United States coast and transfering the heat from the tropic to the northern regions.

The correct option is (c) Gulf Stream.

Further explanation:

The Gulf Stream is caused by a large system of powerful winds and circular currents, known as an oceanic gyre. There are a total of five ‘oceanic gyres’ on Earth. It is a part of the ‘North Atlantic’ Subtropical Gyre. It is referred to as a ‘strong ocean current’ that carries ‘warm water’ from the ‘Gulf of Mexico’ into the ‘Atlantic Ocean’. It extends way up the United States and Canada’s eastern coast. It influences Florida’s east coast’s climate by keeping temperatures cooler in the summer and warmer in the winters than the other ‘southeastern states’. Since, it extended towards Europe, now it warms the water of western European countries too.

i'd have to with d.

explanation:

two jet streams that directly affect the formation of weather in the continental part are a polar jet and a subtropical jet. they are responsible for the transportation of weather systems, which directly affect people. the polar front is the boundary between cold air from the north pole and warmer equatorial air. both the polar jet and the subtropical jet blow from the west to the east, and follow the boundary between cold and warm air.

the strongest jet streams are polar jets, while subtropical jets are somewhat weaker.

the right answer is c. the polar jet stream is generaly stronger than the subtropical jet stream.
