What is the relationship between ocean currents and earth temperature?

the ocean absorbs more than 50% of the heat that reaches the earths surface from the sun. The heat radiates of the ocean and makes surroundoing areas warm. but also like plants the ocean also takes in carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere which allows for the global temperature to decrease. these 2 main patterns help to keep the temprature of the earth stable.

What causes global convection currents to form?
Differences in temperature on earth
What are two things that circulate the heat and cold of the earth?
ocean currents and temperature
What causes currents to flow between the poles and the equator?
Uneven solar heating
Why are the earth's winds and ocean currents important to life on the planet?
There are many different forces that create ocean currents. Among them are: the earth's rotation, salinity differences, wind, density differences, and buoyant forces. Temperature differences can create some of these differences, but we would have ocean currents even if the oceans were a uniform temperature.
What is cold-water currents and climate?
Cold water currents are currents which flow deep along the ocean floor. Cold water currents can cause temperature changes which in return can have a major impact on the overall climate of the Earth.

Why is the Earth's core magnetic if its temperature is above the level at which metal is magnetic?
Moving electrical currents do NOT have an upper temperature limit. You're thinking if permanent magnets.
