What is the correct way to capitalize "Equatorial Current" in a sentence?

  1. Equatorial current

  2. equatorial Current

  3. Equatorial Current

  4. equatorial current

The correct answer is: Equatorial Current

The correct way to capitalize "Equatorial Current" is as "Equatorial Current" because it refers to a specific, proper noun in the context of geography and oceanography. Proper nouns, including names of currents, typically require capitalization as they denote specific entities. The capitalization of both words indicates that it is not just a general current but one of significance and recognition on a global scale. This choice adheres to standard conventions of English capitalization, which designate certain terms as proper nouns, thus making this the most appropriate form within a sentence.
