Question

What effect do the ocean currents have on the climate of a place? Name the ocean current which is

responsible for the location of Atacama Desert in South America.​

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