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.
ThE ocean currents
yes it is true that only warm ocean currents that influence climate
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.

Ocean currents influence climates primarily through the redistribution of heat and the regulation of moisture. Warm currents, such as the Gulf Stream, transfer heat from the equator to higher latitudes, moderating temperatures and affecting weather patterns. Conversely, cold currents can cool coastal regions, leading to drier climates. Additionally, currents impact precipitation by influencing atmospheric circulation patterns, which can alter rainfall distribution.
How are atmospheric gases like the glass in a greenhouse
No, tectonic plates underground and the moon affects the ocean
it affects everything
They create currents and micro climates for different sea life.
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.
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
