No. The Gulf Stream moves water from the Equator towards Europe. The Benguela current moves cold water up from Antarctica.
Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.
the spin of the earth forces the water centrifugal force) to the equator in a bulge.. although it raises sea heights it does not make it more dense ...water cannot be compressed and made more dense
As you may or may not know, there are areas of high and low pressure all over the Earth. Just as water moves from high to low concentration in osmosis, air moves from high pressure to low pressure. This movement is called wind. Wind is caused on the Earth because of the Sun. The Sun heats up the mantle of the Earth and this makes the warmer air rise above the cooler air. This causes a space that needs to be replaced. Cooler air rushes in to replace this void and "Wind" occurs. Wind is caused also by the same cooling pattern by taking the warmer air around the equator and moving it towards the poles, usually in the form of tropical storms or hurricanes and taking this heat and transferring it to cooler regions.
Cooler air does move closer to the ground. I can attest to that because when I was camping, I had to move to the top bunk in the cabin where it was warmer because it was so cold on the bottom bunk. Therefore, cold air goes down and warm air does rise.

Heat moves from warmer objects to cooler objects.
Yes continental drift influences a locations climate because as a continent gets father from the equator due to drift the climate gets cooler. When it moves closer the climate gets warmer.

Heat always moves from warmer areas or sites to cooler areas or sites. Hence body heat moves from the cells to the blood. From the blood to the lungs or from the skin to the air. Once in the air it moves to cooler regions of air.
Heat energy is transferred from warmer objects to cooler objects.

The land heats up faster than the ocean. The air over the ocean is cooler and denser. The air over the shore is warmer and less dense. The cooler air moves to the warmer air an pushes the warmer air upwards. Cool flowing air is wind.
Tornadoes often found in areas where cooler air masses collide with warmer ones. As spring moves into summer temperatures increase and so the optimal zone of temperature contrast moves north into overall cooler regions.
Thermal energy that can move from one substance to another is called heat. Heat always moves from a warmer substance to a cooler one. An increase in temperature means that heat moves into a substance.
