Can anyone please tell me the answers of these questions as I wanted to check mine -
Q1) Briefly describe the impact of ocean current on the basis of climate change.
Q2 ) how are ocean currents useful for us.
Q3) define sea waves on what factor does the height of Sea waves depends .
Answers
Answer:
1. Ocean currents act much like a conveyor belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.
2. By moving heat from the equator toward the poles, ocean currents play an important role in controlling the climate. Ocean currents are also critically important to sea life. They carry nutrients and food to organisms that live permanently attached in one place, and carry reproductive cells and ocean life to new places
3. The up and down movements of water in the sea are known as sea waves. water height is affected by wind speed, wind duration (or how long the wind blows), and fetch, which is the distance over water that the wind blows in a single direction. If wind speed is slow, only small waves result, regardless of wind duration or fetch.
aaahhhaa I remember these answers from my 5th standard!
