Ocean currents affect the temperature by moving hot or cold water from one location to another. The Gulf Stream, for example, moves warm air from the Gulf of Mexico along the eastern coast of the U.S., and eventually to the British Isles. As the warm water travels North, it warms the...
How Ocean Currents Affect Global Climate Becoming Better UnderstoodFlorida State University
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
How do ocean currents affect weather? Ocean Currents and Weather Ocean currents are driven by forces such as winds, temperature, water density differences, Earth's rotation, and tides. The control of ocean currents through fluctuations of temperature and water density is called the Thermohaline circu...
