Question

Explain how oceans influence the climate of a place..
tomorrow is my exam so plz quick... and the answer should be short as possible

Answer 1

Answer:

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, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

Answer 2

Ocean effects climate in three major ways.

First the sun evaporates massive quantities of water from the ocean that form clouds. From those clouds nearly all of the rain and snow everywhere on earth falls, all from solar evaporation of ocean water.

Secondly the ocean acts as a huge heat sink. A heat sink is any object that acts to absorb heat and distribute that heat through its mass. In the case of the ocean sunlight, volcanos, and even human produced heat are absorbed by the water. Then when less heating is taking place the ocean radiates back a little of the heat it absorbed. Because the oceans are so large and sunlight penetrates from 100 meters or even further into the ocean the top layers are on average warmer than the deep layers.
