Identify the correct statements. A. The fastest and deepest geostrophic currents are found at the western boundaries of ocean basins. B. Western boundary currents are more concentrated and eastern boundary currents are more diffusive. C. Brazil current is the largest of the western boundary currents. D. Canary, Benguela and Humboldt currents are eastern boundary currents. Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
A, B and D only
A, B and D are correct. Western-boundary intensification makes western boundary currents generally narrower, faster and deeper than eastern boundary currents. The Brazil Current is not the largest western boundary current. Canary, Benguela and Humboldt are eastern boundary currents.
