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.
What else can I help you with?
What causes mild climates in Europe?
ThE ocean currents
Is it true that only warm ocean currents influence climates?
yes it is true that only warm ocean currents that influence climate
How does ocean life affect ocean currents?
It's more likely the other way around. Ocean currents affect ocean life. Perhaps in a subtle way, since all life on the planet affects the atmosphere, especially the algae in the oceans releasing oxygen, that ocean life affects the weather, which in turn affects the ocean currents. It's also possible that some "seaweed forests" slow the movement of currents.
Plate tectonics change climates by changing the ocean currents?
latitude of land
What kind of ocean currents that affects the Philippines?
Boracay islands. =)
How do ocean currents originate and affect Earths climates?
How are atmospheric gases like the glass in a greenhouse
Does patterns of heating and cooling result in ocean currents?
No, tectonic plates underground and the moon affects the ocean
How could ocean currents affect microscopic marine life?
it affects everything
How does the cold and warm water affect the ocean?
They create currents and micro climates for different sea life.
What is influenced by climate latitude altitude and currents?
Climate is influenced by latitude, altitude, and ocean currents. Latitude affects the amount of sunlight received, altitude affects temperature and precipitation patterns, and ocean currents transport heat to different regions, impacting temperatures and precipitation as well.
Is it true or false that ocean temperatures and currents have major effects on world climates?
This is true. We have just learned about this in are physical science class. The way the current moves through the ocean can cause different temperatures at different places. hope i could help
What would happen to earth climates if all ocean currents and global winds stopped?
it would be more hot and the ocean would be warmer or coller
