The ocean temperatures along the western coast of Africa are sometimes higher and sometimes lower than the ocean temperatures along the eastern coast of Africa.

The ocean temperatures along the western coast of Africa are higher than the ocean temperatures along the eastern coast of Africa.

The ocean temperatures along the western coast of Africa are the same as the ocean temperatures along the eastern coast of Africa.

The ocean temperatures along the western coast of Africa are lower than the ocean temperatures along the eastern coast of Africa.

Answer 1

The ocean temperatures along the western coast of Africa are higher than the ocean temperatures along the eastern coast of Africa.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the map, we can see that the currents of the Atlantic runs warm along the western coast of Africa, but the currents of the Indiant ocean run cool along the eastern coast of Africa. You'll also notice that these oceans do not have the same temperature everywhere - on the eastern coast of North and South America, the water of the Atlantic ocean is cool.
