The North Equatorial Current flows westward across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans, generally towards the west. In contrast, the South Equatorial Current also flows westward but is located in the Southern Hemisphere, similarly moving across the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Both currents are driven by trade winds and play a significant role in the oceanic circulation.
