The Indian Navy completed its second anti-piracy patrol in the Gulf of Guinea (GoG) in the Atlantic Ocean.
About the Gulf of Guinea:
It is part of the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean off the western African coast.
Expanse: It extends westward from Cap López, near the Equator, to Cape Palmas at longitude 7° west.
Rivers: Volta and Niger rivers fall into the gulf.
Tectonic plate: The coastline of the Gulf of Guinea forms part of the western edge of the African tectonic plate and corresponds to the continental margin of South America running from Brazil to the Guianas.
Volcanic region: The only active volcanic region is the island arc aligned with Mount Cameroon on the coast of the Cameroon Republic.
Ocean current: The entire northern coast of the gulf is washed by the eastward flow of the Guinea Current (warm water current ), which extends from Senegal to the Bight of Biafra.
The Benguela Current (cold), as it swings westward, forms the South Equatorial Current to the south of, and running counter to, the Guinea Current.
