Answer Details
The Benguela Current is current number 3 on the map. The Benguela Current is a cold ocean current that runs along the west coast of southern Africa, from Angola to South Africa. It is an important current for the region, as it brings nutrients to the surface that support a rich ecosystem of fish and other marine life. The current can also have a significant impact on local climate, as it helps to cool the air above it and can cause coastal fog and low clouds.
