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.
no
B. Ocean currents affect temperatures on land.
i think your words are flipped. You may mean "How does the Atlantic ocean affect the climate?" If that is your question, the ocean currents have a major impact on the climate of some countries because the temperature of the ocean current can affect the surrounding regions. You should look into ocean currents.
The temperature of ocean water can be affected by the depth. The deeper it gets, the colder the temperature. The current also can affect the temperature of ocean water.
Yes ocean currents do affect japan.
Warm Ocean currents warms the air above it and some move from the tropic towards both poles ---------------------------------------------------------AND----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold Ocean currents also affect weather patterns by bringing cold water from polar to the equator
Ocean currents affect climate because they are able to change the temperature of the shores where the currents move to. Warm currents are able to prevent ice formation on some shores and beach lines. This gives the area relatively warmer temperatures throughout the year. The Gulf Stream (a warm current from Mexico to Europe) keeps Western Europe much warmer than the corresponding latitudes in North America. Ocean currents can have a great affect on the neighboring regions. These currents bring temperature and weather changes to these areas. Deep ocean currents changes the temperature and salinity. With the temperature changing, it affects climate.
Deep currents form where the density of ocean water increase so, water density depends on temperature and salinity. I hope I helped you =)
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
Global Winds, Earth´s Rotation, and Water Temperature
Continental drift affect temperature and precipitation patterns around the planet by changing ocean currents
Winds affect ocean water by blowing the water across making ocean currents and changing the temperature. Catastrophic Events? Me too.
