Kuroshio (1) is a warm current flowing north along the east coast of Japan, meeting the Oyashio. 3. Benguela (3) is a cold current flowing north along the west coast of southern Africa. 4. Humboldt (2), or Peru Current, flows north along the west coast of South America. Matching these locations (A=Oyashio, B=Kuroshio, C=Benguela, D=Humboldt) gives the sequence 4-1-3-2.
