Which ocean currents distribute warm water from the equator?

The most well-known current is the gulf stream which travels up the eastern seaboard of the US towards Europe. Another is the Brazil current which travels south along the seaboard of South America. In Africa, they have the Mozambique current that travels south of the equator along the coast of East Africa towards Antarctica. Near Australia, there is the Eastern Australian current that travels south along the Eastern Australian coast. The Kuroshio current moves north towards Japan along the coast of China. Those are the few warm water currents that I can name! Hope this helps!
