Explanation:
The eastward flow of the equatorial counter-current is primarily explained by the convergence of the two equatorial currents: the North Equatorial Current and the South Equatorial Current. These two currents flow in opposite directions on either side of the equator. As they converge near the equator, the eastward flow of the equatorial counter-current is formed.
