Question

Explain two ways how the surface ocean currents can contribute to restore the energy balance between the equator and poles

Answer 1

Answer:

Ocean currents are one of the main causes of different atmospheric condtions all over the world.

_____________

Explanation:

• We know that when air heats up, it rises the area becomes less dense, it is quickly replaced by surrounding cold air. So, one may understand that air blows from the poles towards the equator.

• The winds also facilitate ocean water to move accordingly. Thus we conclude that cold water moves towards the equator and hot water to poles. Thus ocean currents ultimately help in maintaining heat balance.
