This process contributes to ocean circulation patterns, such as thermohaline circulation, where differences in temperature and salinity drive the movement of water masses. Cold, dense water sinks in polar regions, while warmer, lighter water rises in tropical areas, creating a conveyor belt effect. This circulation is crucial for regulating global climate, distributing nutrients, and supporting marine ecosystems.

The earth revolves around the sun, as it gets farther away, it becomes winter and closer summer.


Why is the surface temp of Venus 750K?

Venus has a high surface temperature of 750K due to its thick atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide, which traps heat from the Sun through the greenhouse effect. This causes a runaway greenhouse effect on Venus, leading to extremely high surface temperatures despite being further from the Sun than Mercury.


What causes seasonal changes on earth's?

earth's elliptical orbit around the sun causes the changes. (science fact: as earth gets closer to the sun, it goes faster.) look up on Google images of "earth's orbit and seasons"


Why do the 4 inner planets revolve around the sun at a faster speed?

The inner planets revolve around the sun at faster speeds because they are closer to the sun, which results in a stronger gravitational pull. This stronger gravitational pull causes the inner planets to move faster in order to maintain their orbits around the sun.
