The earth's atmosphere has a moon the ocean does not have a moon.
The top 10 feet of the ocean stores the same amount of energy as the entire atmosphere. This is because water has a high heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and store large amounts of heat energy compared to air.
Vertical convection in both the ocean and atmosphere is caused by uneven HEATing.The source of energy for convection in the ocean and atmosphere is heating from the sun.
Heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere occurs through processes like evaporation, where water evaporates from the ocean surface and transfers heat to the atmosphere, and condensation, where water vapor condenses in the atmosphere and releases heat to the ocean. Additionally, ocean currents can transport warm or cold water, affecting the temperature of the atmosphere above them. These exchanges are important for regulating climate and weather patterns.
atmosphere
makes the ocean water saltier
Water enters the atmosphere from the ocean through a process called evaporation, where heat energy from the sun causes water molecules at the ocean's surface to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere.
The process that causes the transition from ocean to atmosphere is called evaporation. This is when water molecules at the ocean surface gain enough energy to break free from liquid form and enter the atmosphere as water vapor.
