The cold and warm water currents found in the South Atlantic Ocean are as follows:
1. South Equatorial Warm Current: This current flows in the south of equator to its parallel from the east towards the west.
2. Brazil Warm Current: South Equatorial Current arrives in the west and starts flowing along the coast of Brazil.
3. Falkland Cold Current: This current flows along the south – east coast of South America from the south towards the north. It carries snowy rocks with its flow from the Antarctica region. Here, the mist is found all around due to the merging of cold and warm water.
4. Benguela Cold Current: This current flows towards the north along the south-western coast of Africa. It is an irregular and weak current.
5. South Atlantic Drift: With the effect of fast West Winds, the water flows between 40 degree and 60 degree southern latitudes from the west towards the east. This is actually the eastern extension of the Brazil Current, but its nature changes.
