Question

the figure shows the four ocean currents that make up the north atlantic gyre. the currents flow clockwise around the gyre. how would the climates along the coasts of north america and africa change if the gyre rotation changed directions?
the climate along the east coast of north america would not change, and the climate along the northwest coast of africa would become warmer.
the climate along the east coast of north america would become cooler, and the climate along the northwest coast of africa would not change.
the climate along the east coast of north america would become cooler, and the climate along the northwest coast of africa would become warmer.

Explanation:

Ocean gyres distribute heat; the North Atlantic Gyre currently brings warm water to North America's east coast and cool water to northwest Africa. If it rotates counterclockwise, warm water would shift to northwest Africa, and cool water would reach North America's east coast.

Answer:

The climate along the east coast of North America would become cooler, and the climate along the northwest coast of Africa would become warmer.
