The California Current is a cold ocean current, not warm. It flows southward along the west coast of North America, bringing cooler water from higher latitudes towards the equator.
Ocean currents are classified as warm or cold based on their temperature relative to the surrounding water and the region they flow through. Warm currents typically flow from equatorial regions towards the poles, while cold currents flow from polar regions towards the equator.
