Why is San Francisco not humid like New York?
San Francisco is always affected by the "California Current" or a cooling current that starts in British Columbia and travels south to Baja, which causes a cooling affect throughout California. Whereas New York is affected by the North Atlantic Current, which is one of the more powerful ocean currents pulling warm waters northward. SF cooling drastically reduces the relative humidity, whereas NY warming drastically raises the relative humidity.
What are symbols in Titanic?
The heart of the ocean necklace symbolizes how Rose was Cal's possession. The ship itself is a symbolism of man thinking they can compare with God.
What is the name of drastic changes in ocean temperature that cause weather changes around the world?
The major seasonal cause of water temperature change is due to the change in solar isolation in addition to currents and local hydrodynamics. Some more specific causes of water temperature variation in coastal waters may include: changes in the amount of river flow, discharges of 'cooling' waters from power plants, and changes in air temperature due to global warming.
How does the pacific ocean help keep Canada's west coast climate mild?
Because the ocean stays cold or warm longer than land so in the winter the ocean is still hot from being warm in the summer. In the summer the ocean is still colder because of winter. So when the winds blow over the ocean and onto the land, it cools or warms the land!
Compare the Indian Ocean trade with the Mediterranean Sea trade?
The Indian Ocean trade route was far away from the coasts and it made sailors not interact with others besides their "mates" And the Mediterranean sea route was next to the coast using monsoons to guide them to other ports.
How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?
In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.
What acts like a giant thermostat warming the Poles cooling the tropics and regulating the climate of your planet?
The ocean currents
Why do deep ocean currents occur?
My best guess is that they occur because of warming and cooling of the surface temperature. I am sure there is a pattern of these deep ocean currents to and from the equator and the poles.
Streams of water called ocean move warm or cold water warming or cooling the nearby land?
just as true as chuck noris's third fist
How does ocean pollution affect global warming?
Global warming does not really affect ocean pollution. However, ocean pollution is something that is effecting global warming. This is because the pollutants are what is causing the warming trend.
Why is the lakefront colder in the summer?
Large bodies of water have a cooling effect in summer and a 'warming' (less cold really) effect in winter time. The reason is the Ocean is a huge mass much bigger than the land. So this means there is a lag between when the ocean starts warming and when that warming actually takes effect. The result of this is that the Ocean in Autumn is actually warmer than in summer, and warmer in winter than in spring!

What are facts about Antarctica and global warming?
The average annual temperature at the centre of Antarctica is -57C (-70F), so any warming there is difficult to measure.Antarctica seems to be warming at the edges and cooling in the middle.Most warming is along the Antarctic Peninsula, where the glaciers that used to move down onto the ocean floor are melting underneath, forming ice shelves which are breaking off.
Weather event associated with the warming of the Pacific Ocean?
The hot and dry weather is associated with the warming of the Pacific Ocean.
Does global warming effect the land or the ocean more?
The ocean is in more danger than the land is as ocean currents control most of the land temperatures, so the ocean is effecting gobal warming more.
How can ocean get bigger?
An ocean can become bigger when glaciers start melting (Global Warming does this)
What ocean current causes warming?
