Ocean currents are one of the main factors that affect climate. Other factors are proximity from the equator, distance from the sea, direction of prevailing winds and relief (mountains). But, for the most part, ocean currents act as one of the most impor
Ocean and wind currents are formed by a process known as convection. Both convection and pressure affect the flow of water and air. As air and water currents move from one area to another, they affect the general climate of the area they are moving into. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)...

1. How does ocean salinity affect climate? Effects of Ocean Pollution: Ocean pollution happens when the combination of chemicals, trash, plastics, a toxic variety of metals, runoff sewerage, and industrial waste is released or washed into the seawater. The pollutant leads to effects on the ocean...
Earth's oceans have a remarkable natural ability to pull carbon from the atmosphere and store it deep within the ocean waters, exerting an important control on the global climate. A large portion of thecarbondioxide emitted when humans burn fossil fuels, for instance, is taken up and stored ...
Oyashio Current (on the eastern shores of Kamchatka and Japan) and the Labrador Current (eastern Canada). They don’t have much impact over the local climate because the prevailing winds there are westerly, which push that “atmospheric influence” of the ocean current farther toward the ocean...
Because once a Blue Ocean Event starts occurring in the Arctic Ocean during each warm season, the Earth’s atmosphere will heat up even faster than its current alarming rate. This rapid warming will have major impacts on Earth’s climate that humans rely upon for stability to grow food an...
The approval raises a problematic, multi-faceted question: should economic stability come at the cost of mitigating climate change? The UN defines climate change as “the long-term changes in the Earth’s climate that are warming the atmosphere, ocean and land”. Its leading cause is the combu...
Urinary incontinence, defined as the complaint of any involuntary loss of urine, is a pathological condition, which affects 30% females and 15% males over 60, often following a progressive decrease of rhabdosphincter cells due to increasing age or secondary to damage to the pelvic floor musculatur...
