70% to passThe Humboldt Current flows in which direction?
A
West
B
North
C
East
D
South
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) North. The Humboldt Current is a cold, northward-flowing ocean current that runs along the western coast of South America. It originates near Chile and flows northward along the coasts of Peru and Ecuador, eventually merging with the equatorial countercurrent. The northward direction of the Humboldt Current is a key oceanographic feature that impacts the climate and marine ecosystems of the region. The other answer choices are incorrect because the Humboldt Current does not flow west, east, or south - it flows in a northward direction along the western coast of South America.
