What causes mild climates in Europe?
ThE ocean currents
Why does Iceland have a mild climate even though it is in a high latitude?
It is surrounded by water and receives warm ocean currents from the south.
Why is the climate mild even though the united kingdom lies as far north as Canada?
Warm currents from the Atlantic Ocean.
How do the ocean currents affect the Atacama Desert?
The cold Humboldt Current gives the Atacama Desert its cool, mild climate. Fog formed because of the cold waters provides moisture that some plants and animals need to survive. It is also partially responsible for the extreme lack of rainfall in the desert.
Is Paris France affected by ocean currents?
The influence of the ocean (notably the Gulf Stream) allows French climate to be somewhat mild during winter and that influence can still be felt in Paris, which is only 200 km East of the English Channel and 450 from the Atlantic Ocean. Otherwise Ocean currents have no effects on the Seine river going through Paris.
What is the most likely reason for the british islands mild winter climate?
Ocean currents and wind carry heat energy from lower latitudes to the British Islands is the most likely reason for the British Islands' mild winter climate.

What do ocean currents have to do with climate?
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.
Why do coastal regions tend to experience more mild winters then continental regions?
Ocean current (polar and tropical) and the prevailing winds associated with those currents always make the coastal climate milder.
Why do the oceans have a great impact on the weather over the continents?
The oceans are the source of most of the humidity in the atmosphere. They also have more mild temperatures than the land, and thus cool or warm coastal areas. Ocean currents effect the temperatures of nearby land masses (cool currents make the land cooler, warm currents make the land warmer).
What causes the U.K. to have unusually mild climate?
The climate in UK is mild due to the influence of the Gulf Stream. The Gulf Stream is one of the strongest and most important ocean currents in the world.The Gulf Stream currents move warm water in the Atlantic Ocean from the Caribbean Sea northeast to northern Europe and the British Isles.The Gulf Stream brings warmth to the UK and north-west Europe and is the reason the UK has fairly mild winters.Without this steady stream of warmth, the British Isles winters are estimated to be more than 5C cooler, bringing the average December temperature in London to about 2C.
