Question

use the sketch/ scribble button to draw the major ocean currents on the map. use blue for cool ocean currents and red for warm ocean currents. (once you’ve scribbled a line, you can change its color in the toolbar.) is your work saved? go back to lab room illustrate it! output station major ocean currents

Explanation:

This task requires drawing major ocean currents on the provided map of the Atlantic/nearby regions, using blue for cool currents and red for warm currents. Key major currents to include are:

1. Warm currents: Gulf Stream (eastern North America, moving northeast), North Atlantic Drift (extension of Gulf Stream to Europe), Brazil Current (eastern South America, moving south)
2. Cool currents: Labrador Current (western North America, moving south), Canary Current (western Africa, moving south), Benguela Current (southwestern Africa, moving north)

Answer:

When completing the map:

• Draw red lines for: Gulf Stream, North Atlantic Drift, Brazil Current
• Draw blue lines for: Labrador Current, Canary Current, Benguela Current

(Note: Lines should follow the general path of each current along the continental margins and open ocean as applicable.)
