Explanation:

In the Northern part of Indian Ocean, the ocean currents are clearly guided by the planetary
winds. There is complete reversal of the ocean currents direction right from the African
Eastern coast to the Indian coast. Ex: Somalian current flows from North to South in the
African East coast during winters when there is off shore North East Trade wind. The same
current reverses its direction when there is South West Monsoon wind. It flows from South
to North.
