This warming-up process mostly takes place during the winter. This is because
water takes much longer than air to heat up and cool down. Since about two
thirds of the planet's surface is ocean, this has a profound effect on climate.
This vast body of water tends to store heat during the summer months, and
slowly release it during the winter, warming up the air above it.

What makes ocean breeze blow toward land by day?
The ocean warms more slowly than the land.
Why did typhoon haiyan happen?
Typhoons, Cyclones and Hurricanes are different names for the SAME type of weather phenomenon. They are NATURAL phenomena and occur when the Sun warms the Ocean and the air above the ocean. The warmer the air/ocean, the stronger the winds.
How the gulf stream affect the weather in North Carolina?
The gulf stream is a current of air that goes from the Gulf of Mexico up through Massachusetts. It causes strong winds and can warm the ocean currents, but does not really affect precipitation.
What gets into the cavities and warms and moistens the air?
The nasal cavity warms and moistens air as it enters the body.
When El nino warms the pacific ocean what happens?
the fishing industry suffers
What air is blown from this ocean warms the British Isles?
The Gulf Stream.
Which best explains why insulators keep heat in and cold out?
fire also warms the air around it by convection.this warmed air then moves through the room and heats it by conveection
What makes ocean breeze blow toward land by day?
The ocean warms more slowly than the land.
What causes the warm moist air to rise?
At the equator, intense sunlight warms the air and causes evaporation of water from the ocean. As the air heats up, it expands and rises.

What warms the ground and the ocean?
The sun!
How the gulf stream affect the weather in North Carolina?
The gulf stream is a current of air that goes from the Gulf of Mexico up through Massachusetts. It causes strong winds and can warm the ocean currents, but does not really affect precipitation.
The type of surface that warms up the slowest is the?
The type of surface that warms up the slowest is the "ocean" surface.
How do ocean currents affect air temperature in coastal areas?
Warm Ocean currents warms the air above it and some move from the tropic towards both poles ---------------------------------------------------------AND----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cold Ocean currents also affect weather patterns by bringing cold water from polar to the equator
How do ocean surfaces cause milder climate?
Ocean currents can carry warm water. As they are traveling, the warm water they are carrying warms up the air near them. The warmed air may then also warm the land around it, making the temperature of the land near the ocean currents milder.
What does the air in the troposphere do when it is warmed by the land?
warms the air
What gets into the cavities and warms and moistens the air?
The nasal cavity warms and moistens air as it enters the body.
