🔍 Key Concepts

• Major ocean surface currents and their global pattern • Difference between equatorial currents and circumpolar currents • General location of the Antarctic Circumpolar (West Wind) Drift in latitude bands

💭 Think About

• Is the West Wind Drift associated with warm tropical waters near the equator, or with colder waters driven by strong westerly winds? • Does the term "drift" here refer to an east‑flowing current that circles a pole, or a current that runs along the equator? • Among the choices, which latitude band most closely matches where strong westerly winds blow around Antarctica?

✅ Before You Answer

• Confirm that equatorial currents are found within about 10° of the Equator, not in high latitudes • Recall that the West Wind Drift is also known as the Antarctic Circumpolar Current • Check which option best matches a high‑latitude, Southern Ocean current driven by westerly winds
