As the South Equatorial Current approaches the east coast of Africa, it divides with the main part flowing south to form the warm _______________.
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) Agulhas Current.
The South Equatorial Current, flowing westward along the equator in the Indian Ocean, divides as it approaches the east coast of Africa. The main part of the current turns south to form the warm Agulhas Current, which flows along the southern tip of Africa.
The other answer choices are incorrect because they represent different ocean currents not related to the division of the South Equatorial Current near Africa. The Madagascar Current, Benguela Current, and Canary Current are all located in different regions and are not formed by the South Equatorial Current.
