The wind creates waves along the tropical areas and carries warm water to cold regions. Some of the warm air from the water escapes into the atmosphere making it warmer in that area.

What conditions influence temperature and precipitation?
There are several conditions that influence temperature and precipitation. Landforms, ocean currents, winds, latitude areas, and many other things can affect temperature and precipitation.
Warm ocean current that flows along northeastern Europe?
trade winds
What desert do the shifting winds and cold Peru ocean current have combined to create?
Atacama
Use trade winds in a sentence?
explain how atmospheric pressure over the pacific ocean might affect how trade winds blow.
Is the main factors that affect an areas temperature are prevailing winds and mountains?
yes
How do winds affect ocean waters?
Winds affect ocean water by blowing the water across making ocean currents and changing the temperature. Catastrophic Events? Me too.
How does wind affect ocean waters?
it affect ocean water because if the air is warm the air can go pass the water and it can make water temperature high
The main factors that affect an areas temperature are pervailing winds and mountains?
Monsoon winds affect the climate of a region. Identify factors that influence temperature and precipitation. Latitude, altitude, distance from large bodies or water, climate, microclimate and ocean currents affect temperature and prevailing winds, mountains, and seasonal winds affect precipitation.
What six factors affect ocean currents?
Global Winds, Earth´s Rotation, and Water Temperature
What winds move the ocean current?
it causes current waves.
What conditions influence temperature and precipitation?
There are several conditions that influence temperature and precipitation. Landforms, ocean currents, winds, latitude areas, and many other things can affect temperature and precipitation.
How do ocean currents affect temperature?
ocean currents may be considerably warmer or colder than the normal surface air temperatures. their effect is greatest when the prevailing winds blow from the water to the land.
How do coriolis effects relates to winds and ocean currents?
Surface current
What moderates much of the air temperature over northwestern Europe?
The North Atlantic Current, an extension of the Gulf Stream, moderates much of the air temperature over northwestern Europe. This warm ocean current brings heat from the Gulf of Mexico towards Europe, creating a milder climate and preventing extreme temperature fluctuations.
How does closeness to water affect temperature?
Closeness to water refers to the distance a place is from the ocean. It can affect temperature because during winter time the land but oceans are still warm. When winds blow over the warm ocean it absorbs the heat from the water. As the warm winds pass over the colder land it will raise the temperature over the land. Therefore, places closer to oceans have milder winters then places farther from oceans which will have more extreme winters.
Strongest ocean current?
South of New Zealand, the Southern Ocean's westerly winds drive the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, which flows continuously around the globe. This is the world's strongest ocean current, reaching down 4 kilometres to the ocean floor and transporting about 100 times the volume of water of all the world's rivers. The current does not directly affect New Zealand's main islands. However, the Campbell Plateau to the south deflects the current south and channels it north past the Antipodes Islands before the flow resumes its eastward course. Further south, cold, downward-moving winds, known as katabatic winds, flow off Antarctica. These winds drive a westward current and form a clockwise gyre in the Ross Sea.
What is the primary cause of surface ocean currents?
Wind
