What role does the ocean play in stabilizing earth's weather conditions?

Because it is a very large storage of heat. It acts as a condenser in an electrical circuit. When the temperature swings to the very cold, the water in the oceans release heat, thereby constraining the swing amplitude. The opposite happens when it becomes too hot: the ocean's immense volume of water absorbs part of this heat. This explain why deserts have extreme swings of temperature, going to subfreezing temperatures at night to scalding temperatures during the day. Earth would be an unbearable place without its oceans and life would hardly exist at all (remember Mars).

Why does tsunamis happen more than typhoons?
Typhooons are the result of a complex combination of weather conditions and a typhoon only occurs when all factors combine simultaneously. Tsunamis are caused by earthquakes under the ocean, they have nothing to do with weather conditions.
