Most warm ocean currents flow from the Equator. This is because the equator receives more solar radiation than other regions, which leads to warming of the seawater. As a result, the seawater becomes less dense and rises to the surface. The rising warm water then flows away from the equator in the form of ocean currents. These currents carry heat from the equatorial region to other parts of the world, affecting the climate and weather patterns in those regions.
