Which current is responsible for the movement of icebergs into the North Atlantic shipping lanes?

A Iceland Current
B Baffin Current
C Baltic Current
D Labrador Current
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) Labrador Current. The Labrador Current is responsible for the movement of icebergs into the North Atlantic shipping lanes. This cold current originates in the Arctic Ocean and flows southward along the coast of Labrador, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia, carrying icebergs from the Arctic into the North Atlantic shipping lanes. The other options are incorrect because the Iceland Current, Baffin Current, and Baltic Current are not involved in the movement of icebergs into the North Atlantic shipping lanes. The Labrador Current is the primary ocean current that transports icebergs from the Arctic into the shipping routes in the North Atlantic.
