In which part of the ocean does the typical example of reversal of ocean current can be observed which is guided by the planetary wind system?
Northern part of Indian Ocean.
Southern part of Indian Ocean.
North Atlantic Ocean.
South Pacific Ocean.
Explanation:
In the Northern part of Indian Ocean, the ocean currents are clearly guided by the planetarywinds. There is complete reversal of the ocean currents direction right from the AfricanEastern coast to the Indian coast. Ex: Somalian current flows from North to South in theAfrican East coast during winters when there is off shore North East Trade wind. The samecurrent reverses its direction when there is South West Monsoon wind. It flows from Southto North.
