Question

How does the banquela current affect the climate of western africa? explain your answers?

Answer 1

Where the icy Benguela and the warm, south-flowing Agulhas current mix, there is a richly productive marine ecosystem off the Cape of Good Hope but storms and turbulence above.

The cold current creates the desert conditions of the shore of Namibia, and the persistent fogs of the Skeleton Coast and Namib Desert. A Benguela El Niño effect has been detected, less intense and less frequent than the Pacific Ocean phenomenon.
