Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Ocean surface circulation brings warm equatorial waters towards the poles and cooler polar water towards the equator. Deep ocean circulation is density driven circulation produced by differences in salinity and temperature of water masses.
Detailed explanation-2: -Surface currents are caused by winds. They move warm water away from the equator and cool water away from the poles.
Detailed explanation-3: -The warm ocean currents move from equator to poles and the cold ocean currents move from poles towards equators. The Labrador current is a cold ocean current. Cold currents decrease the temperature in warm areas and warm currents raise the temperature on cold areas.
