### Surface Ocean Currents
**Graph Explanation:**
A global map is presented titled "Surface Ocean Currents". The map illustrates several major surface ocean currents around the world using arrows to indicate direction. There is a key indicating that black solid arrows represent warm currents, while hollow arrows represent cool currents.
**Main Currents Displayed:**
- **Arctic Ocean:**
- Arrows showing currents circulating in the Arctic Ocean.
- **North Pacific Ocean:**
- North Pacific Current heading towards North America.
- North Equatorial Current heading westward near the equator.
- Equatorial Countercurrent flowing eastward between the North and South Equatorial Currents.
- **Indian Ocean:**
- Including the South Equatorial Current moving westward.
- **South Pacific Ocean:**
- South Equatorial Current moving westward.
- **North Atlantic Ocean:**
- Gulf Stream moving along the east coast of North America.
- North Atlantic Current moving eastward towards Europe.
- Canary Current flowing southward along the coast of Africa.
- **South Atlantic Ocean:**
- Brazil Current moving southward along the coast of South America.
- Benguela Current moving northward along the coast of Africa.
- **Southern Ocean:**
- Antarctic Circumpolar Current moving in a circular fashion around Antarctica.
**Note:**
Not all surface ocean currents are shown.
