What increases the temperature of the worlds oceans?
The temperatures of the world's oceans are increase by not only SOME of the heat rays from the sun but also from the winds that fly over the oceans. The winds carry hot (or cold) currents that fluxuate the temperatures of the water beneath it.
How can you compare mountains and oceans?
Oceans are deep, mountains are tall.
How are lakes and oceans are able to stabilize air and land temperatures?
water is able to absorb large amounts of heat without significantly changing its temperature.
Large oceans moderate the climatic temperatures of surrounding coastal land areas because the temperature of ocean water changes?
slowly high specific heat
What effect do oceans have on the temperatures of nearby land areas?
Oceans cause the land masses near by to have more moderate temperatures. (Cooler summers and warmer winters.)
What Compare and Contrast Hawaii and Alaska?
first of all, hawaii has a very hot climate and it's also very humid there too. there are also volcanoes and salty oceans. alaska has very cold temperatures and it is also very snowy there. they also have salty oceans. also they both have a very low population due to temperatures and extreme to moderate storms which could ethier kill you or seriously injure you.
Do currents cause warmer and cooler temperatures in the areas where they are located?
No. Currents in the air and oceans are caused by the heat from the sun.
What is the temperature in the oceans?
it can be from 2degrees to 36degrees
What affects the oceans temperature?
climate
What is it about water that helps keep the planet at a stable temperature?
Water has a high specific heat. This characteristic makes water stubern to change in its temperature. So since the water in the oceans and such never have there temperatures drastically changed the planet around it does not have to drastically change either.
Do oceans make the temperatures of nearby land more or less extreme?
Oceans make temperatures less extreme, was water tends to take a long time to heat up and cool down.
What is the weather of temperate oceans?
Temperate oceans appear to be more green than other oceans. Temperatures in the temperate oceans tend to fluctuate more than tropical oceans. Temperate oceans are also not as clear as tropical oceans.
