How do ocean currents affect temperature? Check all that apply.They carry cold water from the poles to the equator and cool air over land.They flow north and then south below the equator.They flow south and then north above the equator.They move warm water from the equator to the poles and heat air over land.They move east to west and create prevailing winds.They move west to east and create seasonal winds.

Ocean currents redistribute heat: cold currents carry water from the poles toward the equator, cooling the air above nearby land, while warm currents carry water from the equator toward the poles, warming nearby air. So the correct choices are the statements about carrying cold water toward the equator and warm water toward the poles. The other choices describe directions or effects that do not explain how currents affect temperature.
