Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks for the current that flows south along the west coast of the United States. 
Option 1: California. This is the correct choice conceptually, since the California Current moves southward along the west coast of North America, bringing cool water from higher latitudes toward the equator.
Option 2: Canary. The Canary Current is located off the northwest coast of Africa, flowing southward along that region, not near the U.S. west coast, so it does not fit the described location.
Option 3: Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is a warm ocean current along the east coast of the United States and across the Atlantic, flowing northward in its main path, which makes it unrelated to the west-coast southward flow described in the question.
In summary, only the California Current matches both the western U.S. coast geography and the southward direction outlined in the prompt.
