What are large areas of land or water with similar ciimate called?
it is called a biomes
How do changes in the circulation of ocean currents affect climate?
they cool or warm the coastal areas year-round
What areas are not easily classified into major biomes?
The freshwater biome, Desert biome, Marine Bioes, etc..............
Where in the oceans are highest values of salinity found?
Shallow areas with low or no currents and high evaporation.
How can water in the atmosphere affect temperature?
The mere presence of water, e.g. a river running through it, does not. But oceanic currents do affect the climate - therefore called the "oceanic climate" - of mostly western coastal areas on the middle latitudes of the globe and the cities located there. The Gulf Stream for instance gives the cities in western Europe a temperate climate. Similar currents make for instance the west Canadian coastal city of Vancouver the warmest of Canada.
How do currents affect air temperature in coastal areas?
water
Major ecosystems that occur over wide areas of land are called?
is it the biomes
How do ocean currents affect air temperature in coastal areas?
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

What can warm currents do to some areas that are normally colder?
Warm currents have a very obvious affect on the temperature that surrounds it. Warm currents will warm the area around the currents.
Large geographic areas that have similar climates and ecosystems?
Biomes
Do ocean currents affect water temperature?
Yes, there are warm and cold currents throughout the oceans round the world. They move warm water into colder areas (the Gulf Stream warms north west Europe) and vice versa.
What is the difference between ecosystems and biomes?
The difference between biomes and ecosystems are that "biomes are large areas made up of many connected land and water ecoystems, and an ecosystem is defined by all of its organisms and its abiotic factors.
How do ocean current affect climate ang aquatic life?
Ocean currents are the factor that is needed for keeping the Earth's temperature right. Cooler waters cool off hot lands and warmer waters warm up cooler areas. Aquatic life flourishes in certain temperatures.
