Q.

Which current is responsible for increase in the temperature of the western Europe?

Explanation:

ANS. (D) 
North Equatorial Current is a significant Pacific and Atlantic Ocean current that flows east-to- west between about 10° norths and 20° norths. It is the southern side of a clockwise subtropical gyre. Despite its name, the North Equatorial Current is not connected to the equator. In both oceans, it is separated from the equatorial circulation by the Equatorial Counter current (also known as the North Equatorial Counter current), which flows eastward.
