Describe the various factors that influence ocean currents and discuss their multi-dimensional impact.

(A) major factors:

Multi-dimensional impact of ocean currents:

(A) Climate impact:

1.i) Warm current on east tropical continents margin causes [illegible] - Hurricanes in East Mexico.

1.ii) [Cold current] in east temperate continents margin causes severe monsoon conditions.

1.iii) [Warm current] in west temperate area resists maritime climate - Britain, Germany.

(B) Fishing industry - supported in areas of mixing of warm & cold currents.

(C) Navigation - ships save fuel by traveling in direction of currents.

These ocean currents are major geographical features that effect all dimension of human life.

Factors that influence ocean currents:

Primary factors:

Secondary factors:

Multi-dimensional impact of ocean currents:

(A) Climate impact

1.i) Warm current on east tropical continents margin causes [illegible] - Hurricanes in East Mexico.

1.ii) [Recces] formed on west margin due to cold currents.

1.iii) Malama due to Peruvian current

(B) Fishing industry - supported in areas of mixing of warm & cold currents.

(C) Navigation - ships save fuel by traveling in direction of currents.

Difference between tides and waves:

BASIS | TIDE | WAVE

Thus, tides for tides - different purpose & differing impacts.
