Wind and ocean currents are both produced by the Earth's unequal heating. This leads to the conclusion that the Sun is the main component in wind currents and ocean currents, because the Sun is what heats the Earth.

How does atmospheric circulation influence climate?
by producing winds that distribute heat and moisture.
What ocean features helps distribute heat around the world?
Water pressure
Why are hurricanes described as a heat engine?
because it picked up high temperature waters in ocean
What is the ultimate source of the heat energy that causes the winds you feel?
The Heat Cycle
What is the best way to distribute heat in water?
kinetic energy turns into heat energy which heat's the water SLOWLY (keep frantically moving) ;D
How do the waters of the earths help distribute heat from one place to another?
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.
What distributes heat and moisture around the Earth?
Ocean currents as well as winds distribute heat and moisture around the earth. Winds can bring in cold fronts or warm fronts.
How do the waters of the earth oceans help distribute from one place to another?
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.
How do convection currents distribute heat in the oceans?
the radiation from the sun will send heat to the ocean and the heat would make currents hot Basically a convection current

How do the waters of the earths ocean help distribute heat from one place to another?
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.
What ocean features helps distribute heat around the world?
Water pressure
How does heat get distributed in the atmosphere and the ocean?
the atmosphere and the ocean waters heat up through an interesting process called convection
What create ocean currents?
Sunlight warms the waters on the ocean surface. Some heat energy is transferred to cooler waters through convection.
How do water of earths oceans help distribute heat from one place to another?
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.
Is there a thermocline present in high latitude ocean waters why or why not?
Thermocline is not typically found in high latitudes of ocean waters because of less penetrating heat rays since the sun's energy hits the earth at an angle in the high latitude ocean waters.
