The oceans are the source of most of the humidity in the atmosphere. They also have more mild temperatures than the land, and thus cool or warm coastal areas. Ocean currents effect the temperatures of nearby land masses (cool currents make the land cooler, warm currents make the land warmer).

Why is the ocean so important to all living thing?
Oceans are important to us as- 1. It has a great impact on the global climate pattern. 2. The oceans act as great reserves of heat as compared to land because oceans heat up and cool down relatively very slowly as compared to the land. 3. Oceans are the main source of moisture and consequently of rain. Thus, the areas surrounded by oceans have more rains than vast land surfaces. Areas covered more by land are more polluted than areas covered by water bodies. 4. The boundaries of oceans and continents provide natural boundaries to many countries of the world. MUSKAAN
